When is "good enough" good enough?

In the publishing world, it seems like it never is, but maybe that's my perfectionism or latest series of rejections talking. I did get a request for the first 5 pages of PG, but two days later got a standard rejection on that. Sigh.

In the meantime, I've noticed more and more agents asking for a synopsis upfront, so I'm off to write two of those: one for PG and one for Rule #17. It turns out though that a synopsis isn't just a synopsis. There are several different synopses that could be requested: http://agentqueryconnect.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/query-letters-tips/thepitch/whats-your-book-about-r19#comments. The moral of the story seems to be start big and hack away. Here's to hacking! Or I guess I should stay here's to starting - I'll hack later.

My marathon training plan:
Monday - 4 mi E w/ 6*30 sec @T pace
Tuesday - walk 2.5 mi
Wed - 3 mi E, 1 mi T
Thursday - bike 30 min - knee hurt again, so there goes the bike again for now
Friday - 3 mi E
Saturday - 8 mi @ HMP
