- Wow! I just submitted my first query!
- Oh god… I just submitted my first query.
- That was too easy. Shouldn’t have it been harder?
- It’s such an important step in my writing career, but it was so simple?
- I should’ve added a little more to my book summary.
- Was my book summary too long?
- Oh, I must’ve missed something important in my query letter!
- But, everyone told me to keep it short and snappy.
- I edited my book so much, there aren’t any typos in the sample.
- What if there are typos in the sample?!?!
- What if the agent wants to read the whole book?
- What if the agent DOESN’T want to read the whole book?
- Being a writer requires thick skin. I have thick skin.
- If I get rejected I’m going to cry for hours.
- Well, might as well get on with the next query.
