Stats Part Otto: Special JV edition

Things I did this weekend:

Sat amongst hundreds of fellow nerds for the Harry Potter 7 opening weekend.
Prepared for said movie experience by gathering with friends to rewatch HP6.
Churned out a healthy amount of knitting while watching my husband kills splicers in Bioshock 2.
Made ginger cupcakes* on a whim, ate them for breakfast for 4 days running.
Went to a pub quiz, figured out an anagram, and came in 3rd.
Managed to churn out a 1 page, 2 page and 4 page version of a synopsis.

and queried like it was going out of style**

Queries sent: 70

Rejections received: 18, including another 5 word rejection. I'm still waiting for the day when I open an email and just see "No."

Requests received: 1 new request for a partial!  This request was intriguing because it was made by an 18 year old agent.  When I was 18, you could find me in a dorm room, planted on my roommate's futon, eating cold Chinese food and shouting out bids while watching the Price is Right.  But hey, more power to the non-lazy youngins.

*non-rejection cupcakes.  sometimes you just can't wait for an excuse.
**it is literally going out of style, at least for this week.  I can't imagine turkey and red wine will make agents eager to dig into the slush pile.
