From SlushPile Hell:
5 Things You May Not Want to Say to an Agent at a Writers’ Conference
1. “You look a lot thinner on your web site.”
2. “How are your kids doing? It was so cute how they surprised you with waffles for breakfast last Saturday. At least I think it was waffles, it was hard to tell from outside your window.”
3. “Is it true that agents are just frustrated writers?”
4. “You know, you and I are the same blood type.”
5. “I’d like to share an important message with you from the Book of Mormon.”
