 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Today is Saturday, Aug 30. It is 7:30 pm. I am thankful to be awake and feel okay. I went to Starbucks earlier and then talked to my friend Philip. Then I checked email and found a return to my query. The agent did not accept me but they were very nice to reply and I do not feel hurt.

Possibly they read something that I wrote but I do not know for sure.

They might have thought I am a fascist. But I do not know.  I think that people want the other people to be nazis more than they want citizenship for the immigrants.  

I think also I am beneath that conversation so I don't get accepted as part of the right political movements.

But that might not be it.  It might have been my arrogance in my letter. Because this was my most promotional query yet.  

I kind of want to give up but I don't feel that strongly about it and instead have a feeling with continuing as normal with the mice series queries.  To try to be a children's book writer and lead with the mice books.  They are cool books.  And that matches some envisionings, to market myself that way instead of as a poet.

I think this agent gave me valuable feedback.  I think she said the reasons are that I did not treat her right when I mispelled her name, I might be a fascist who did not help the immigrants, and possibly a self publishing snafu of some sort.  I think that was her coded feedback. I am not sure what the self publishing issue is. I think it is a good option for me and what is questionable is that the books aren't selling.

So anyway that is kind of too bad but mostly I am okay. I think I am supposed to continue querying. I feel okay. Thanks, C and L.
