<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="https://instinctshare.blogspot.com/">Visit best blogger this year</a></b></span><br />
You've compiled a list of agents, and at the top of that list is your 'A' choice. THE agent. The one you're super nervous about. The one you check your email for a dozen times a day in hope that they've replied.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://instinctshare.blogspot.com/">Last week</a>, one of my 'A' choices (I have a coupleāI like options) rejected me. Although it stings (my manuscript is perfect for him, I tell you!), I understand. I don't want an agent who feels "meh" about my work.<br />
<br />
But I found myself wishing that I could write a song to all the agents who've rejected me along the way. This isn't my first time querying, so this is a <a href="https://instinctshare.blogspot.com/">LOOONG</a> list. But hey, at least I'm to the point where I can poke fun at myself. Hence my inspiration for this song.<br />
<br />
Whether you're a writer, author, or agent, I hope you find some humor in these lyrics.<br />

"I Queried Like A Wrecking Ball"<br />
Lyrics By Emily R. King<br />
(Sing to Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball")<br />
<br />
We plot, we pitched our books in vain<br />
We wrote never asking why<br />
We blogged, I fell under your spell<br />
A love no one could deny<br />
<br />
Don't you ever say I just walked away<br />
I will always want you<br />
I can't pen a lie, writing for my life<br />
I will always want you<br />
<br />
I queried like a wrecking ball<br />
I never hit the keys so hard<br />
All I wanted was a quick response<br />
All you ever did was reject me<br />
Yeah, you, you reject me<br />
<br />
I put you high up in the sky<br />
And now, you're not coming down<br />
You said six weeks, it's been a year<br />
And now, we're questionably bound<br />
<br />
Don't you ever say I just walked away<br />
I will always want you<br />
I can't pen a lie, writing for my life<br />
I will always want you<br />
<br />
I queried like a wrecking ball<br />
I never hit the keys so hard<br />
All I wanted was a quick response<br />
All you ever did was reject me<br />
<br />
I queried like a wrecking ball<br />
Yeah, I just wanted more requests<br />
Left me waiting for your eager call<br />
All you ever did was reject me<br />
Yeah, you, you reject me<br />
<br />
I never meant to bother you<br />
I just wanted you to read my book<br />
And instead of using force<br />
I guess I should've used a hook<br />
I never meant to bother you<br />
I just wanted you to read my book<br />
I guess I should've used a hook<br />
<br />
Don't you ever say I just walked away<br />
I will always want you<br />
<br />
I queried like a wrecking ball<br />
I never hit the keys so hard<br />
All I wanted was a quick response<br />
All you ever did was reject me<br />
<br />
I queried like a wrecking ball<br />
Yeah, I just wanted more requests<br />
Left me waiting for your eager call<br />
All you ever did was reject me<br />
Yeah, you, you reject me<br />
Yeah, you, you reject me<br />
<br />

<a href="https://instinctshare.blogspot.com/">Please note</a>: I do not endorse swinging on wrecking balls naked,<br />
grabbing one's crotch while sticking out one's tongue,<br />
licking hammers (of any kind),<br />
or gyrating with Styrofoam fingers on stage.<br />
