I just pressed Send on my query letter with my writing resume and 2 writing samples in for a feature article in BUST.

Oh, as usual, dear.

My first query to a print magazine. Do I get a toaster, or a Xanax or something?!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Good thing (I mean that) that I have other stuff to work on that's fun and keeping me from thinking 1 week, 2 weeks, etc...
