Nervous Nellie

I submitted my novel to an agent last night...so incredibly nervous!  On the one hand, this is the very first person I've submitted this novel to, so I shouldn't expect them to take it - it usually takes dozens of tries at the very least...on the other hand, this is the woman who took on The Lightning Thief, and she's actively looking for similar authors...so it'd be foolish to not hope, right?

I don't know, but at least I've taken this step.  They say on the website that if you haven't heard from them in 6 weeks your novel isn't right for them, but I'm not sure I want to wait six weeks to submit to someone else, now that I've gotten the ball rolling...but maybe it's only fair to give them six weeks? 

This business stuff is so confusing...
