You'd be surprised. I have found gold in my box!

P.S. I really do read everything myself. I am eager to find the gold.

P.S. If I did request your full manuscript, I promise I'm still reading and hoping to get back to you soonish. I know the wait is agonizing, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Breaking an irreplaceable dish is the worst. I hope your day gets better from here.

I would love to see this project. (I am a retired amateur boxer and fought in Golden Gloves long ago)

P.S. If you started your project with a dream (and queried me), please don't worry. I might pass, but I won't hold it against you. Instead, try revising the dream sequence to make it an active scene.

Then, try me in 6 months with a significant revision. It will show you care about your craft!
