Well, I just did it. I e-mailed a query letter along with my manuscript for a childrens picture book to an agent. So now, I suppose, I am waiting for my first rejection letter. :) I have always been a "people pleaser" and I believe writing for publishing is the cure for that! Almost every writing site I have found emphasizes the need to develop a thick skin and prepare for the rejections that will surely come. So, I am focusing on not taking any rejections to heart, and instead using them as opportunities for growth and improvement.
Fingers crossed that it appeals to them and they want to work with me! :)
Best of luck to you!!
