Back in October of this year I submitted my query for Flames of Hatred (still have to rename this thing!) to Evil Editor and his Minions. They found a host of problems with it. Good. The query was crap, and I wasn't going to write a good one unless someone told me why. The list I was given was in double digits. Oh, well.
So, why do I bring this up? I do so because I have given the query another go. Only I haven't re-submitted to Evil Editor. I know I will - sometime. I just don't know when. For one thing, I haven't finished reducing the novel's size. I have a lot of work left to do on that. Does it serve any purpose to focus on the query when the book is not ready?
That's an excuse. The truth is, I'm terrified. I'm feeling kind of weak right now, and I'm not sure I'm up to the truth - and that's what the Minions will provide. Thank God for that! I need to know the truth, but I'm afraid to hear it.
I hate being weak.

Hey, cut yourself some slack! It may not be the right time just now for making yourself vulnerable. Having a query shredded is tough (I should know) so do it when you're feeling stronger.
Thanks.
I beat myself up. I have since I was young. But it's not fair to you, who are actually taking the time to read what I'm writing. I'm just not used to anyone paying attention to me. Sometimes I need a quick slap to make me stop being silly.
Thanks for the exclamation mark.
I needed that. (smiles)
