Another day, another rejection - which brings me up to 11 rejections out of 30 queries sent. (Some of the non-responses count as a rejection, I know, but I haven't figured out which ones yet, and I'm not overly worried about them.)
On the plus side, while it's a form letter, this one appears to have been actually SIGNED by the agent in question. And this was a snail mail query that asked for both a synopsis and the first 30 pages. I send them query - synopsis - excerpt, in that order. This came back excerpt - synopsis, out of order. So I'm going to take that as a good sign.
(Even if it probably means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. When one has 11 rejections, one takes the good stuff where one can.)
(For instance, this evening's good stuff would be a SIGNED form letter, which I haven't received before. Also the garlic chicken pizza heating up in the oven. Yum.)
In other news: there are 113 recipes for the project4editrx cookbook, plus about five others in my inbox I haven't processed yet. Yay, recipes! About half of them have been claimed for testing, and half of those have been tested. Yay, testers! Want to help test, or contribute a recipe? Go here, or ask me here!
