I have been knee-deep in revisions over the last week. Earlier tonight I tried to say something like, “That’s a strange way of doing business” to my husband and I actually said, “Weird, I think… um… What? Why did…? Never mind.” I think I may have actually exhausted my supply of words.
If my life was a video game, my word supply would have been down to maybe half a heart. That is quite possibly the lamest reason ever for posting late, but there it is. I had to power up first.
So, continuing my post from last time, Seven Questions to Ask a Prospective Agent, I thought it might be fun to follow up with some questions you should never, never-ever, ask a prospective agent (or anyone you hope to do business with).
- Have you ever considered enrolling in a speed reading course?
- Do you mind if I call you at home? Can I drop by if I’m in the neighborhood?
- Have you been saved?
- Is [insert client name] as [insert negative personality trait] as she seems from her books?
- If you were an animal, what would your favorite book be?
- Will you read my Mom’s manuscript?
- If there was a biography about you, what parts would I want to highlight?
- What’s your blood type?
- Will I be your favorite client?
- Obama or Romney?
What questions can you think up? Invisible trophy to the best (worst) one.
