Dear MS,
Should you forget your vow at some point this year and begin to think less heatedly about one of these again, you are welcome to email me. I hereby PROMISE to reach through the computer and shake some sense into you.
No charge. : )
Golly, it's good to have friends!

A crapintervention.
Oh thank God! When I saw "next crapometer" show up as a title in my RSS feed, I got worried that we'd have to give Miss Snark a Nitwit of the week award!
I about had a heart attack when I saw "Next crapometer" as the title to this post.
I thought we were going to have to turn your clue gun on you, Miss Snark!
Although I didn't take advantage of the last Crapometer--now I wish I had!--I do feel that I learned quite a bit from reading what you thought people did right and what they did wrong with their query letters. Thanks for doing this. You probably helped a lot of people secondhand in addition to the people who helped directly with their queries.

I participated in one of the last two crapometers. It was a lesson in building suspense. I lost the random drawing with my first number then (second chances!) I received a second number (blessed malfunctions!) only to find that it too was a loser. How does Miss Snark keep me coming back for more? Seriously though, I'm grateful, she's broken my phobia of submitting. Somehow, her cruel-to-be-kindness has made this nervous process a kind of fun. Thank you Miss Snark, whoever you are.

I didn't realise we were allowed--nay encouraged--to shake Miss Snark.
Would that be a ShakeSnark or a SnarkShake? Maybe a Shnark.
Maybe a dead sqrl.
