Ever send out a query and minutes later you're hiding under your desk after you realize what you've written is total crap? Yep. Me too.

It wasn't mine.

I'm chalking this one up to experience and a reminder to polish the heck out of it before it ever leaves my hands. Next time I'm spending more time at Absolute Write's Query Letter Hell SYW (Share Your Work): password is vista and less time picking out scented rainbow-colored paper that sings when you open the envelope. Wha?
