Here's what I do:
1. Send whiny, "It happened AGAIN!" emails to my husband and writer friends.
2. Post some self-deprecating remarks on AW, usually here in my home away from home, R & D. Sometimes, if I haven't gotten the whine out of my system, I'll started a boo-hoo thread here. (Joking aside, I am eternally grateful to the support around here, and if I get published, AW is getting a shout-out in my acknowledgements).
3. Re-read and often tweak/revise the MS, depending on whether or not I got feedback. If I've gotten several forms in a row, I revisit it anyway and look for potential problems.
4. Send out more queries.
5. Get more rejections, send out whiny, "It happened AGAIN!" emails . . .
I need to break the cycle, man! Somebody throw me a liferaft made of chocolate or something!
