I agree with so much of this, Chuck! You're right on. I usually tell writers, whether romance or mystery or whatever you're doing, get a list of agents. You should have a list of about 10-20 agents. Go to their websites, and see what they want the submissions to be and following it exactly. Do not make any changes to what they want.

Great Post, I would also suggest using "Evernote" instead of word or excel, I found this is a great app for everyone, and for us, writers, even better.
I was thinking that the line between fantasy and science fiction sometimes is blurring. What do you think?
