Not very much, but I set up a new little writing nook, and it makes me want to sit there writing. And I finished up an article and sent it out just a few minutes ago. The magazine prefers electronic submissions (good on them), and I got back the Auto-Reply Thank You But Don’t Hold Your Breath note, so at least I know it went to the right place.
The last time I sent out a query, I did it hastily, on my way out the door to the destination I wanted to write about. I read the query later, and it had TWO typoes. I have no idea why they accepted my pitch, but I’m glad they did.
I checked this one today about a million times, and I hope everything is spelled right. I’m so glad I did it, though! How ’bout you?
Congratulations on getting those query letters out–I completely sympathize with how embarassing it can feel to realize you’ve sent out a query letter with errors in it (although it my case, it was my resume and cover letter with the first sentence typed twice–and the same spelling error in both sentences!)
I hope you get some nibbles from your queries!
Awesome!
I’ve been writing too.
And I’ve totally found mistakes in stuff after I’ve sent it out/handed it in.
