In my quest for writerly wisdom, I’ve often stumbled upon the advice to make writing a daily habit.
But never that querying should be.
In fact, in my experience, constant querying can be bad for the soul.
If you are exhibiting any of the following symptoms it may be time for a break:
1) You're not hearing back.
2) You've revised your query a thousand times
3) You find yourself checking QueryTracker 9,000 times a day
4) You've gotten hit again and again with rejection
It's okay to pause querying and focus on more well filling pursuits.
Rejection will be there when you're ready for it, but that pie may not be.
