Querying friends! I had a revelation yesterday!

If you look at your QT Dashboard, it will tell you right there that your queries and submissions are “outstanding!”

See? You’re doing fantastic!

#AmQuerying
#AmWriting
#QueryTracker
#YouAreOutstanding

(Double meanings are fun!)

A screenshot of the Query Tracker dashboard, zoomed in on two blue boxes on a pale blue and white background saying “Outstanding queries / 4 / [view]” and “Outstanding Submissions / 4 / [View]” respectively.
