i recently have been bingeing Disney movies so I feel like a thread of the #amquerying experience as told in Tangled gifs is in order
when your wordcount has gotten a little out of control but you're gonna shine up that manuscript anyway
that feeling when you see the glaring typo in your query right after you hit send
when u get a request!!!
when u get .... nothing. no responses. the inbox just sits there. silent. like a dead thing.
trying to figure out from mswl if this agent is the one for you
when you refresh and refresh and refresh and then--(1) NEW MESSAGE--
form reject
form reject
when you're trying to make your book sound good in just 250 words for the query
sending that first query off into the world
your writer friends in your dms when you get good news
ur synopsis @ u after like eleventy billion drafts
when an agent emails to ask for The Call (!!!)
when you know you're supposed to write the next book while you wait but you're too anxious so you take up stress-baking
When you’re trying to make the stakes sound good in your query
Your friends @ you when you’re wayyyy overanalyzing your response rate
the energy you have when you get a really good R&R
u with all the drafts of ur query
what your first ten pages start to sound like after you’ve rearranged the commas for the 97th time
that sixth-month-in-the-query-trenches mood
those days when you get several form rejects in the same afternoon
when you persevere despite the setbacks because you are a WRITER and you can DO THIS
when that random rejection rolls in 18 months after you trunked the project
