Sounded cool, and I'm wondering...do you need that "AS"?? A more metaphor-type title might be stronger than a simile-type.

If sending a kid to kindergarten is like querying, I'm going to be a basket case in a couple more years:)<br /><br />Thanks, Amy. And how is yours coming along? Are you going to dive straight into revisions now that you're finished with your whirlwind first draft?<br /><br />Thanks, Carol. And yeah, I'm still calling him Bob. It's just easier to say, and he still feels like Bob to me. (No offense, Ben!
