Queries: A writer's slave labor
I never thought preparing queries could be so time-consuming.
I prepared 49 queries tonight. It took something like five hours, even though I was working from a template. Each publication wants something different, whether it's requirements on including clips or simply differences in what they're looking for.
At any rate, it's clear I didn't get enough stamps. I'll have to remedy that in the morning... I'm working for one of my families in the afternoon, so I'll have to work on getting my queries ready to mail before and after that.
Right now, I'm so tired of query letters that I don't want to write another one for at least a week. My short stories can wait to be sent out.
