Thanks for the shout-out! I really liked the 40 steps to writing a query post, too - very cute. We've got drunk-dialing, drunk-texting...and now drunk-querying. Ha!
I love you too, Sierra! Thanks for the shout-out :)
Thanks for the links, great to know about the thank you letter thing. I really wanted to send one a while back on a personalized rejection, but held back. Now I wish I would've.
Great list. I especially liked the Twitter one. :)
Thanks guys! Glad you liked :)
Julie did have an outstanding post. I will have to check out some of the others I missed!
Have a great weekend Sierra-Mist.
Is it weird that I came back to apologize for my lack of a comma between weekend and Sierra-Mist?
Take two.
Have a great weekend, Sierra-Mist!

Thanks for the links! And I agree--Julie Dao is great! :)
