					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://patrickdobson.com/query-to-an-agent/#comment-10918&quot;&gt;Ilmari Rautio&lt;/a&gt;.

Thanks, Ilmari. I&#039;m trying hard. I query ten agents a day, which is no easy task. I approach it with my head down and just grind it out. Rejections are now trickling in. But I&#039;m used to rejection and it proves I&#039;m doing the work. But many agents won&#039;t answer the query unless they want to see a manuscript. So, once that query goes out into the world, I have to forget it and be surprised if I get anything back.]]></description>
