We All Survived!: Agent Chat

I survived!

Of course I survived you say. I was only moderating an online chat with a literary agent.

It was great. And it was so high speed. I totally didn’t need that mocha beforehand. Mental note: no caffeine before chats…

Tina Wexler of ICM was great. She did a great job of succinctly answering the pile of questions launched at her for an hour by eager writers. I wish I could say that I recall the questions and replies, but honestly, I can’t. I was so busy queueing people up for their questions and trying to keep track of everything that I swear I only read enough to gather whether the question had been asked and whether the answer had been given. And even then, I screwed up a time or two.

When the transcripts are available, I will sit back and take a peek at what really went on.

With people jumping in and out of the chat, it was a challenge to keep things going and on track and make sure everyone got their chance to ask something. Some people even got to ask a second question, so all is good at the end of the day.

So how many quests did Tina have? Well, at one point, I looked up and saw that we had 33 writers logged on. Wow. I would say that it was a success and that AQ’s bid for online domination is well underway. Now if only my head would stop spinning…
