We are not interested in representing you so we won't even bother to reply." At the other end it is probably,"You live in Australia. Why aren't you writing about Australia? Why can't you get an Australian agent? We won't bother to reply." <br />This would, I suspect, be much less of an issue if I had already had something published. It is a sort of Catch 22 situation! <br />I shall go and arrange some cat hair of a different sort. <br />Thanks for the support.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-25376721647879208102009-12-05T12:05:38.393+10:302009-12-05T12:05:38.393+10:30Who are you sending queries to and what are you qu...Who are you sending queries to and what are you querying: full length manuscripts, shorts?<br /><br />I'm surprised you aren't receiving anything at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-22097020825296825462009-12-05T10:46:50.940+10:302009-12-05T10:46:50.940+10:30Blog less, spend that time sending out more querie...Blog less, spend that time sending out more queries, it doesn't matter how many times you do not receive a rejection, or even if you do - statistically, you will eventually, trust me on this one! -just keep on keeping on and good things happen: this I believe in (more than Santa)! You have nothing to prove to anyone else.

Nicola makes me depressed - she seems to think that at least people get a response. It doesn't happen. I promised the child - and you keep promises to children whatever.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-16254692044732889522009-12-05T10:01:42.704+10:302009-12-05T10:01:42.704+10:30I have characters tell me what to do as well.

Quit if you don't like writing anymore, but bearing in mind you blog a lot more than I do, I reckon you still enjoy it. Feeling demoralised is an artist's rite of passage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
