Excellent point. I suppose I'm just intimidated when I see miniscule request rates. I so enjoy the querying process 🙂

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?

It's HUGE with the teens (or could be, with your help)

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.

The entire querying process drains me, especially writing query letters and finding appropriate agents to approach. The whole thing is a very specialised form of sales pitch and requires a totally different skill set.

Got a rejection bc high word count, BUT they’re open to review it if lower to industry standard for a debut. Only idk if Adult Fantasy standard is 115k or 120k.😬
120k from 128k is already daunting. I’ve managed to cut 1.5k already. 🫠🫠 #querying #iamquerying #query #querytrenches

You're not wrong! And then the querying and waiting begins and you realise...weeks feel like months. Oh, they are months.

Yeah buddy! I'm actually flat learning the build/edit side of MySQL – I know a lot querying-wise because of work, but I've never done the administrative side. So lots of learning incoming! SQL Workbench and a dream 🫡

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.
But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.
Good night.

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.

I'm still fairly new to working with ATproto — do you mind if I DM you with some questions about how exactly to structure that querying? I was unable to figure it out on my own

ahhh cool okay! so you're saying I need to publish more often 😂
I saw Jared replied re: querying directly instead of scraping, and fwiw our total volume is low enough it might only ~double the total to just get all of em (and cool to know it's comprehensive!)

I’m taking a short break from writing and querying the Ashen Grace series to focus on my mental health and recharge amid the current exhausting climate. I’m just giving myself time to breathe and reset. On the bright side, I ordered a personal physical copy of Ashen Grace!

Last touches going on Desperate Women before I hand it off for the line edit. After Beta edits it is 54,000+ words.
Then - polishing the query letter. (Already had 3? total agents give me feedback on it. It's close. I hope.)
Then, on to querying.

these particular ones are used like embedding models, but they work differently
basically, they’re used for querying a database
