I wrote a query back in June and just sent it today. It was a good query - simple, direct, to-the-point. And I'd already completed it. For some reason that I can't begin to explain (other than bone-jarring terror at putting myself out there), I had kept it back until just today.
So please...please leave a comment if you have any ideas about why I'm so frickin' silly.
Erica, I read an article about job hunting in the NY times today before I read your blog that said, job hunting "brings up many of the same emotions as dating - fear of rejection, fear of looking like an idiot, fear of overstepping boundaries, fear of failing." Seemed appropriate to share that with you. Seeking both love and a job is so painful! Love, Jen
