So, between then and now, what have I been doing?
1) designed and ordered promo postcards
2) wrote "query"/cover letters
3) put envelopes together
4) MAILED my portfolio samples!
Here's a picture before a trip to the post office.
Based on the volume of file folders, envelopes, labels, paper clips and papers lying around, I could have opened a small office supply store. It's funny how all that matter condensed into these seven envelopes--they're considerably less meaty than I anticipated. (A good thing I hope.)
To sum it all up in one word: RELIEVED.
I don't know why I put off the mailing for so long, but I feel way better now that it's out of my hands. There's nothing to fret about. Well, the fear of complete rejection looms, but I can worry about that 3-6 months down the line if/when it happens... and fortunately I have good coping skills.
For now I'm more than ready to resume a normal schedule and work on the stuff that's been put aside.
It looks like the postcards turned out really well! Can I have one of each to put in F's room (when he gets one)? :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, those look fantastic! I can't wait to see them in person!
