I've Now Made it to Double Digits!

The rejections keep a com'in. But the nice thing I can say is that the last two have been placed on a standard 8x10 sheet of paper and I was personally addressed as: Dear, Stacy.

That is always a nice touch. It cushions the blow and takes the sting away ever so slightly.

One agent even said that she wasn't enthusiastic enough about it, but that out there somewhere there would be the agent that was. I found that encouraging if not a wee bit scary. How do I find that agent? And will they be accredited like these other agents that are recognized by my writing organization? I guess the only way to find out is to send more queries out into the vast unknown and keep my fingers crossed.

I read a great thing on my writing groups website last night. It was simply this:

If you don't send out queries, you'll never get rejected.

If you don't send out queries, you'll never get published.

Take your pick.

I'll take the risk, please, with a large side of rejection. Why not?
