Thanks. I plan to apply some of your comments before pushing Sarah out the door.

Because books.
I wish they'd said it in fewer words, but they're good points.
Especially the part about it being just writing. If you're not saving lives or teaching kids or putting out fires, you really need to have some perspective.

dumb question for a cover letter - when it comes to listing previous publications, do you list only publications in the genre that you're submitting for consideration? What if a pub is so old that the moldy cheeses point and laugh at it?
eta: also, I'm a little nervous about sending this query out.

I think it depends. Do you have a few pubs in the genre you're submitting? You might just say, if so, "...as well as other pieces in TYPE OF publications."
Most recent is probably best, but you could also leave out dates.
