I had a challenging day, but I found time to write. That's all that really matters... #writing #booksky
Another attempt at capturing the beauty of the sun rising behind storm clouds...

The sky is dark, but the clouds are pretty cool so I tried to get a photo...

Hopefully, this was the last time I'll need to mow the lawn this year. Scratch and sniff to enjoy the scent of a freshly mowed lawn 🤣

Went for a walk along the river and came up with an idea for a sequel to the project I'm querying now...

According to authorities, activity by duck street gangs is on the rise. Walk with caution as they can outnumber you quickly. They will demand snacks 🤣

The ducks are getting pretty cocky. These two challenged me to a game of chess...

Sent 6 more queries out into the scary world today. Really hoping a couple of them return home with positive news. Always feel bad for the queries that volunteer for this perilous journey but never even receive a reply...

Pausing on my walk to the library to enjoy the view from my favorite bench. This will be a final calm moment before I plunge into the query trenches when I get home.

Querying Authors: When you see on QueryTracker that an agent has a low request rate, do you skip that agent? Or do you still query because you are confident or don't worry about the numbers?

You've got to be in it to win it! 🙂

Excellent point. I suppose I'm just intimidated when I see miniscule request rates. I so enjoy the querying process 🙂
That sounds like the right strategy. Rejections are a part of the process, right?

Managed to maintain some querying self control this week. Sent 2 queries on Sunday and Monday. That's it. Didn't get any instant rejections, so that was nice.
