At the end of March, I did a query workshop, and the agent requested my full (woo hoo!). Encouraged by the success of my query, I sent it out to four more agents. I received a nice form rejection from one, but it's been two and a half weeks now of waiting.
And...I find myself inexplicably down about it. It hasn't been that long. Most of the queried agents have a 4-8 week turn around time, and of course the full can take up to 3 months (for this agent). I'm not sure if it was the spurt of excitement descending into endless wait or what, but suddenly I'm doubting everything. "Is my query bad? Is my story bad?" asks my brain.
I'm confused because there's no logical reason to feel down. Is this a common waiting experience?
