Form rejection in under 24 hours. Same copypasta about my query letter. I doubted y'all and I tried anyway. My bad.

Same rejection as everyone else. Was very confused about her note to clarify my query letter (considering I literally have all of that) until I saw the comments. Now I don't feel so confused.
