first novel, first post!

Hi all! I've been lurking around this forum for about a year as I finished up my first baby. The advice and support here is amazing. I've poured over so many threads and every success story and I was so confident I had it nailed. But now my first queries are out, and I'm getting back a whole lot of resounding silence. I'd love some help with revising.
I'll be posting the query I sent, and the new option, very soon. Maybe if I can constrain myself to only one other option. I've written about ten versions of the query as of today and have got to stop the insecurity avalanche.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I'm new as well and in a similar position ( started querying, haven't received a ton of full/partial requests) Hang in there! Believe me, I know it's hard.
