There's no such thing as green in my house....unless you're talking about vegetables and then....nope, never mind

I've been sitting here for the last couple of hours compiling my list of agents that I plan to send queries to, and, you know, it amazes me how many agents out there DON'T accept email queries. I really don't understand why anybody, in this age of technology, would demand all queries come in the mail. I mean, if they've got a webpage set up, then chances are they have email. It's not so hard to make a folder called "Queries" and adjust the spam filters so all queries go in there. Or, even better, just make a new email address altogether that's only for queries.

Of course, I'll admit that most agents do, and many of them ONLY accept them via email, which is awesome. It makes the whole process much easier for me, definitely much cheaper for me, and it cuts down on the amount of paper that's wasted on a daily basis.

Now, if I can just get my kids to quit going through 48 rolls of toilet paper a month, I'd be happy.
