I am trying to think of a hook for my query letter. But all I can think of is a haiku that I wrote a long time ago when I had to run database extraction programs on an overloaded server:
Very slow server.
If my program does not run,
I will kill you all.
Obviously, a few edits to make it more appropriate to this situation can be made:
Hate query letters.
If my book is not published,
I will kill you all.
That is what I will be thinking about the next few days: how to describe my collection of short stories in a few intriguing and inspiring sentences so someone somewhere will take a chance on me.
Possibly, I might still kill you all :p
