Query No. 44.

I'm going to have to stop checking my email immediately before bed.

It was incredibly hard to get to sleep last night after that pre-nocturnal check revealed the words:
Thank you for your query. We read it with some interest and would like to see the full manuscript.

Yes, after 43 attempts ended in total disinterest (we're not taking on new clients; this isn't the kind of thing we're looking for; we no longer take email queries), someone finally wants to read my book.

OK, it's a bit early to be breaking out the champagne, but to be honest I feel like I've already had three glasses.
