Feeling like Rocky

Mylotters friends, a week ago, I've told you about the conference that I'm going to this weekend. And now it's here. With a cross of anxious nerves and a sore throat,
I'm gearing up to knock out my verbal pitch for Venom with an agent I never cold queried before in 5.5 years. With a couple of last minute tweaks to my query and practiced dry runs, I'm just about to good to go. So I'm hoping that this agent will ask for a partial or a full in person. Wherever you are at 11:10 AM my time, please think of me and cross your fingers.
Plus, last week I've done a round of email tag with an agent since I nudged her on my partial R&R. She'll be there tomorrow. Though she filled up before I signed up and registered last month, she told me she's looking forward to meeting me in person. I'm hoping she had read Venom's partial R&R and plan to upgrade it to a full. She might be interested in my other ms too, since she would set aside some time to meet me. That's kind of her. I don't know when I'll see her, depending on her schedule--before or after the conference, during her pitch breaks or maybe lunch. I'm calling this a twofer for now.
Just a heads up, I'll be out all day tomorrow since it's a full day conference from 9:30 AM to 5 PM. I'll be up early at 7 AM to shower, change, and do last minute things before I'm out the door by 8 AM. I'll be home at 6 PM after I stop at the store for groceries and then have dinner.
To get me psyched up, I'm hearing the Rocky soundtrack playing in my head:

So I'll see you around in 23-24 hours. Have a good Saturday!

The Rocky Balboa movie series is one of the best series of sports movies. Too bad the clowns at ESPN think otherwise.

Thanks Maria. It was long and tiring. I'm still a bit tired.

The pitch went well. I got a 50 page partial. As for that other agent, she haven't read mine yet. But there's still hope.
