Okay.
- Query Letter: Done.
- Long Synopsis: Done.
- Short Synopsis: DONE! (I thought it was done on Wed., but I was wrong...I hadn't even started it. Oops.)
Does anyone have any rituals or superstitions about sending out those first query letters for a project? Just dropping them off at the mailbox and walking away (okay, being dragged away after I try to shove my hand back into the mailbox to retrieve my babies) seems so...simple. I mean, I do the same thing with bills and birthday cards. And yet this is my career, and my hopes and dreams and blah blah blah.
Even worse, though, is e-queries. Don't get me wrong, I love them for many reasons (speedier! less wastier! cheaper!), but it's just clicking a mouse button. Yet so much depends on it.
Ooh! Now I'm inspired.

Erm. My deepest apologies to William Carlos Williams.
Anyhow...so, anyone have any rituals they'd like to share?
Obsessively re-check the contents of the envelope again and again.
