I usually have fun with the introductory paragraph but always stumble in giving a very brief synopsis.Having that short synopsis mastered before I sit down to write the query might be the way I should approach it next time.Sheri Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653834734547794502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-50662904795423673002011-01-11T13:40:04.899-05:002011-01-11T13:40:04.899-05:00You and I are in the exact same place!!

But, the flip side is that I love getting ready to put a baby MS out into the world. Actually, I have to fend off the desire to do it much faster than it's ready sometimes LOL:)Lindsay N.
