Sometimes, life gets too serious. I'm running a Kickstarter campaign right now, and it's going even better than hoped, but it's still stressful wondering whether or not I will meet my goal by June 4th.
So I decided to interject a little bit of levity and just direct you guys to the blog SlushPileHell for your amusement.
If you've visited that blog, you know that it is amazing. If you haven't, you should. SlushPileHell is a blog by a literary agent who posts funny snippets from query letter fails.
And I'm not talking about query letters that didn't make it--I am well aware of the fact that most queries are met with rejection--these are real fails. Fails of epic proportion. Fails where the agent is told that the book was inspired by God, or will sell 50 billion copies, or fits every single genre.
Or where the writer demonstrated a remarkable inability to use spell check, correct grammar, or any ability to write coherently.
So even if you have suffered rejection from agents yourself, you can read this and comfort yourself with the fact that there is someone out there failing even bigger than you.
