That's a long time and as a writer, I totally understand the battle against perfection. It may be time to stick it on the shelf and ignore it for a little bit (NOT FOREVER, just for a month or so), long enough to start something else, and forget a few details that you've seen a thousand times.

I used to do that, too! My number was even lower. I only sent out five. But that has its own levels of torture too. Sending out so few queries and having to wait six months before you send out more means your journey will be slow.

But at the end of the day, you should do what you feel comfortable doing.

I'm all about complaining to get the stress out So tell me: how is your writing going? Are you mad that book came out? What bothers you about the kidlit community? Let's get it out!
