Rejection Stats Part Sei

It's been a weird couple of days in the query game.  I got another request for a full (!), but the agent requires that I also send in a synopsis.  To which my brain responded "ARRRGH!  WHY DID WE NEVER WRITE A SYNOPSIS!"  The answer to that question, which I've been finding out painfully over the course of the last few days is that synopses are the devil's own business.  I'm not really sure how to artfully summarize the characters, red herrings, and full ending of a mystery novel in less than 500 words.

In other strange query news, I got a request to see ten pages.  Ten pages.  That would be the blind date equivalent of meeting to wait in line for coffee together before going separate ways.  I think that agent might be a commitment-phobe.

And on to the stats!
Queries sent: 50
Rejections received: 10, including another "Not for us, thanks," and TWO literary agent ninjas
Requests received: 2 full, 1 partial

TEN REJECTIONS!  You all know what that means, don't ya?*  CUPCAKE AND BEER TIME!  That's right, for every ten rejections I receive, I am entitled to a cupcake of my choice paired with complementary beer.  Today's selection is a Snowball from That Takes the Cake, which is coconut and almond cake topped with cream cheese and coconut.  Much sweeter than rejection, no?  And if any bitter tang remains, it will be washed away by the Maui Coconut Porter.

*Impossible.  I just made this shit up.
