Query Dread

Well, it’s upon me. What was looming over me for months is now staring me right in the face. I can try to put it off further, but I technically am ready to begin querying my novel. Maybe I’m not ready for all agent requirements, but then again, I never will be anyway. I think I can put it off a little longer by finding reasons why I shouldn’t start the process yet. I can think of two things right off the top of my head; I don’t have a book title in my genre that is close enough to my own, and I don’t really have a full synopsis.

I have thought a lot about comp titles, and there isn’t anything else out there close enough to my novel. I suppose that’s a false problem, because if my book really was that close to another then it wouldn’t be original. I’ve tried reading books with a similar flavour, but I really can’t find anything. I think it’s because of my distinct writing style applied to my genre.

Then there is the synopsis. I do have a synopsis, but it’s short and probably doesn’t give enough details. That is technically an easy fix, but if I do fix it, then I’ll have one less reason to stop dragging my feet.

Woe is me …
