@authoredbymeesh: I sent my first query! The response? A rejection. I’m not disheartened. For my sake, I needed to break the ice with my first query before I dove into the trenches for real. I choose to see it as a lesson and how much resilience I can build over time. Every “no” brings me one step closer to a “yes”. 🌟 I am in the last stages of editing and polishing, and my real goal is to enter the trenches in August. Wish me luck! I’ll keep you posted. #GrowthMindset #KeepPushing #CourageToFail #amquerying #writersjourney #aspiringauthor#debutauthor
