#Query response in my email… will I get my first full request on my birthday?

Nah. Just another rejection.

That’s ok. Not going to let it ruin my day.

Happy birthday! I got two rejections today. 🎉 time to send out two more queries…

rachelblaine.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes! Double it up and make it 4!

A "no" is just an opening to an ultimate YES. (At least that's what I've been telling myself!)

rachelblaine.bsky.social•108 days ago

Totally! If i don’t look at it that way I will go absolutely insane.

Happy birthday!! And congrats on putting your work out there 🎉💛

rachelblaine.bsky.social•108 days ago

Thank you! I should celebrate putting it out there. Thanks!

Definitely! Last year I had a rejection goal and it helped tremendously. But it is also 100% OK to feel bummed about the rejection. We know it's part of it, but it still stings... No advice here because you know best what you need. Just sharing my experience 💛

Thank you! I have a rejection goal too and it does start to get kind of fun to collect rejections (mostly because that means I’m getting a tiny step closer to a yes). But it does definitely sting!

Happy birthday anyway!

Thank you! Really thought this new and improved query letter was going to be the one, haha. But I literally sent two queries. Might need to increase my odds.

rachelblaine.bsky.social•108 days ago

Omg i totally meant to get back to you! My brain has been so mushy lately!

yaldacollection.bsky.social•108 days ago

I hope it'll help. So far, I've given it to 5 other people who asked me, before I paused it. I'm a little sick at the moment lol but I can get to yours next week, let me know!

rachelblaine.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’m sorry to hear you’re sick! Mom life. I’ll message you!
