Thank you so much for your responses — it’s so reassuring to know it’s not just me! Anwynnauthor, I totally get having your query instincts thrown off — usually if I’m not getting responses, I tinker with my query, or dive deep into researching more agents, but that’s assuming the problem’s with me. This time around is so hard to know!!!! But so helpful to think if others are having the same experience, maybe trying for patience (and a bit of relaxing) is the way to go, for now. Cmac, I meant asking if anyone could relate, not that I’m actually asking for a friend of mine (I realize now that probably didn’t make any sense!!)
