Emails

I have an email and I'm too scared to open it. I only know it's from one of the literary agents I sent to because it says 'submission'. I don't know who though, and it's puzzling because in the sender it only says 'info'.

I'm not sure if it's a) a rejection, b) a 'send us your manuscript', c) a 'thanks for your email, we'll get back to you' or d) you've submitted it wrong.

It's only been four days, so a and b sound unlikely, and I can't think what I might have forgotten. I didn't double space my synopsis and one asked for double spaced but didn't make it clear if they meant the chapters and the synopsis, or only chapters. But anyway, they're hardly likely to tell you to sod off because you haven't double spaced something. They could do it themselves if they wanted.

Emails are actually bad for sending important things to people, because when you get replies, it's far too easy not to open it. I tend to just ignore it in my inbox for a day or two. It'll turn out to be c or d and I'll have had nerves for nothing. Damn it.
