Poke it until it bleeds

So on a previous query letter, I got rejected within seven minutes of sending the email. Does this hurt my feelings? Not at all, in an attempt to set a new record, I sent a new query letter to the same agent at exactly 5pm on the dot and hope that she has gone home for the day. Regardless of how bad my letter maybe, it will sit in her inbox beyond the previous seven minutes of bliss. So where ever you are little query letter of mine, be strong!

On happier note, I'm writing pretty regularly now and glad to be back into the routine of putting ideas on paper. If I could just write and never worry about selling myself (soul optional) to an agent, life would be grand. Yet what is the point of writing something that nobody will ever see?

Back to the queries...

Sent: 8

Rejected: 5

Updated, query lasted 52 minutes this time! Good job there little query letter, you will be missed.
