I ended my slacking streak by submitting to various agent this afternoon. There are a lot of agents.

Word of advice? Query in batches of 3-5, not all at once. You might want to revise your query or change some info after the initial batch.

That falls in line with what I was thinking.

I queried 5 today and prepared 10 more letters for the agents that only accept snail mail. And if I get any feedback, I'll be able to modify them.

And thanks for the tip. I was tempted to just send them all out at once, but I wasn't sure how good my query was. :)

Every six months or so, I send out 10 - 20. The joy of seeing those SASEs coming home like pigeons! Last time, I got zero responses. The time before that, I was so tired of the whole process that I honestly almost threw away two acceptances without opening them.

It is a depressing cycle. :)

But nothing worth while is easy or everyone would be doing it.

I thought everybody WAS doing it.
