I know the query is awful, that's the point of posting it. <br /><br />I've been reading a lot of posts lately that remark on the abundance of rejections people are getting. I just wanted people to see that there is always hope--even if you screw everything up when you query as long as the premise and pages promise good things someone will request something. <br /><br />And yes, I have thought about revisiting it and that's pretty much as far as going back to it has gotten. To be honest, the project has lost the magic it once had for me. So on the virtual shelf it sits waiting for me to find inspiration for it again.Jodi Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03216373059861459896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780510492901683811.post-12335458670665413602010-11-06T09:35:52.460-07:002010-11-06T09:35:52.460-07:00That's awesome that you got a request off of a...That's awesome that you got a request off of an unfinished project and (I don't want to offend you or anything so sorry) with that query.
