I seriously wish I had followed this advice better when I was querying. Instead I obsessed over checking my email and Query Tracker to see if any agents were moving through their query list. It was not healthy.

When the agent I signed with requested my full manuscript I was visiting with my inlaws.
When she emailed me to ask for “the call” I was walking my daughter.

Sitting at home, staring at my phone would not have made it happen any sooner.

Go. Relax. Write your next book!
