A few weeks ago, I sent off a number of query letters to various agencies. Instead of sending them a query for a script that might catch someone's eye (a mistake I won't repeat the next time), I sent them queries for a well-written but not spectacular thriller, hoping to catch some of the residual (and inexplicable) success of No Good Deed.

Last night, one of the agencies responded. Granted, it was a rejection letter (some crap about not taking unsolicited material), but at least someone had the sack bag testes to tell me 'no'.
