the stall remains the same

Two weeks after the competition and nothing has changed. I'm still lounging around in our outdoor living area (which is quickly becoming my second office), listening to Jim Croce and shooting off queries to agents. I've sent five so far via email and contacted three by phone. Score: Agents-3, Literary Genius-0. Whether or not email queries bear fruit remains to be seen. I should be calling more, but it's lunchtime on a Friday in Los Angeles. In truth, I may send off five more queries before days end. On the other hand, I may continue to lay here and listen to the wind rustle through the trees.
