Want to glimpse the Writer's World?

Hey, writers, ever wonder what agents and their assistants (who read your query more often than the agents do) think of you?

Imagine they're normal human beings, with hearts, minds and souls like you?

Figure they understand how mistakes might happen, especially to a nervous newbie who's just now starting out in the Trying-To-Get-Published wild, wooly world?

Assume they're thinking, feeling, normal human beings who were raised with the belief that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Especially in public?

Think again.

Yep, that's right, folks ! This dude reading your query and slapping that big NO THANK YOU into your SASE without even reading sentence 1 thinks we're all Donkeys.

So, you still wanna be a writer?

Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed, I guess. I've never understood the purpose behind venting publicly like that. It's unprofessional, mean spirited and boring. But hey, I guess everybody needs a hobby.
