Like trying to sell a paranormal romance right now might be tough. Not because it's not an amazing book, but because you'll probably hit a lot of agents that are like: "Blehh! Never want to read AGAIN!" -- which isn't compentiton, really. It's just something to factor in when you're deciding what to prioritize and query.<br /><br />I agree though. It's about making sure your work is the best it can be and all that. :)<br /><br />GOOD LUCK on your test!!

But I can't help but point out that it was last month, not last week. xD<br />Good post, though! :) I hope your test is a breeze.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794214644065843523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953627050807350486.post-53257532660433902682011-10-14T12:15:05.431-04:002011-10-14T12:15:05.431-04:00I agree, mostly.

However, I agree that there's nothing you can really do besides make sure your work is the best it can be--and like you said, it's subjective anyway--so in that sense, it's not really competing.<br /><br />Good luck with your test!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
