Hi again everyone,

I'm in an interesting position, with a fully complete manuscript, which I"m querying, but still a few small tweaks I'd like to make to it.

In particular, the opening chapter is troubling me.  I like the one I have, but everyone says it has to be just perfect to attract an agent, so I'm still working on it.  Only I can't seem to improve on what I've got (at least, not in my own mind).  Can't tell if I'm just too attached to my first draft, or if it really isn't getting better.

My main crit partner is supporting the changes, but I still don't know.

I'm getting some professional advice via a class with an editor at a local publisher, so perhaps that will shed some light on my decisions.

In the meantime, I'll keep the query tap open to a small trickle, and plan on turning it to a full gush once I'm happy with the opening.

Cory
