But as the rejections came in and I realized they were mostly form letters, I began to get disheartened. But after 40 queries (Yes 40!)

I think you're doing the best you can do--just starting. We all have to start somewhere, and if it takes good omens to get you there, that's great!Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.com
