Thank you everyone who commented on my query yesterday. You helped me see many things I could improve on it. One --not make it so unclear. Get rid of the last sentence. Two--not make it so depressing and Three--don't start my sentences with And or But. Never used to but started seeing it done that way in some books and it slipped into my own habit.
I'm judging a contest this week so I'm keeping this short. I also know that so many of my fellow bloggers are getting ready to go to the ACFW conference this week. Wish I were going! But I am looking forward to some great pictures and some great meet-ups from all of you.
I'll end with this: My favorite dessert is Angel Food cake. I've tried one from every store in the area and found that Wal-mart has the best. No one can outdo them. The others are dry and lack that vanilla taste I so love.
The genuine cake is worth my seven mile commute to purchase one.
All of you are like my Angel Food cake. No comparison. Nothing artificial. The real deal.
I appreciate you:) Thanks again!

Have a good rest-of-the week and enjoy the conference.
it's great to have blogging friends that are writers too.
I'm glad you have more clarity on your query letter. I know it's going to turn out great. I am sad about not going to the conference too :( But I can't wait to hear about everyone's experiences.
Oh, I love Angel Food cake. I need to find a great recipe. Congrats on getting the query done!
Walmart? Really? I'll have to get one from there. Have a great week, Terri!
Throw a little chocolate on that Angel Food Cake and now we're talkin'. :D

PS: I like and's and but's!
Will have to try that Walmart cake! Thanks for your comment today. I should keep those scriptures in my head. It's just been one thing after the next over here. I appreciate your support and concern so very much.
just wanted to stop by and say, you're pretty real. Glad you got the help you needed. Happy judging.
Have a great week, Terri! May you always have enough of Angel Food cake to satisfy.
I've been away for too long and am enjoying catching up here.
I wanted to let you know that a friend in my writers' group is in the Christmas Traditions book. She brought the book yesterday to our meeting and I saw your story. "Hey, look! My friend's in here too!" I exclaimed. (Sorry I didn't get a chance to read the story.)
Thanks for the tip on the Angel Food cake. I wonder if its the same one that's in Sam's Club.
Good luck with your contest judging.
Blessings and prayers,
Kelli
You are very welcome, anytime. I hope my comments helped so I will assume you meant me, haha. Don't burst my bubble if you didn't. Have a great week.
Mmmm...you're right. When you find the real deal, you have to stick with it. :)
Glad the pros were able to help you out. Cake sounds yummy right about now. Hmmm. :O)
Enjoy the conference!
Have fun judging that contest! Have a great week too!
Great to have community, scaffolding to support you in what you love!!!
Contest judging has got to be tough. I don’t envy you the task, still, someone with principle and skill is needed do to the job. That’s you. Good luck there.
Ice cream makes anything better. You want dress up that AFC, stick some ice cream on it. Drool.

But there's not a thing wrong with the way you began those sentences. And another thing...
