Am impressed if you've made it through on the one email address - I've got heaps, too many perhaps :)<br /><br />@Julie, LOL. Would love to see you in your froth-mouthed maniac persona ;)<br /><br />@Joanna, thanks. It's a bit like that, isn't it!<br /><br />@Hart, oh dear! Still, glad there were no drastic repercussions. That predictive text when two people have the same names is a killer!!!<br /><br />@Brad, glad you've worked out the labelling and filtering stuff - I tried to wrap my head around those but wouldn't trust my own technical skills to get it right (*grins*)<br /><br />@L'Aussie, thanks. Ooh I like "writemail.com" - very professional! :)<br /><br />@Christopher, that's too funny!!! I've got in similar trouble in the past with that sort of answer. Sigh, some people just don't get our sense of humor! :)<br /><br />@Kangaroobee, those IRC's are a killer, and some agents/publishers don't even take them I hear! Give me email every day :)<br /><br />@Mary Mary, no probs (*grins*)<br /><br />@Rachel, something to think about when you jump on the query boat :) <br /><br />@Carolina, that's so true! Great tip :)<br /><br />@Regina, hey thanks :) Good luck setting up the emai. The hard part's sometimes finding a combo of your own name that nobody's taken yet :(<br /><br />@Jackee, thanks :) I've never tried it from a separate folder. Sigh, technology and me just ain't friends LOL<br /><br />@Lola, ta, you too :)<br /><br />@Kangaroobee, #ifeelyourpain. But I'm sure it won't be a form rejection (*hugs*). The way I see it, if they want your work they'll contact you any way they can, and they'll definitely remember your later email with the right address. So you're not allowed to stress over it, ok!!!<br /><br />@Adina, go you! It does need to be the professional-sounding address though, doesn't it (*grins*)Rachael Harriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764930101064527321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-39347535972918837552010-11-19T21:58:54.923-05:002010-11-19T21:58:54.923-05:00I did all my querying via email.

And for better or for worse, I definitely followed Julie's approach of obsessive checking, so there's no way any email with "Query" in the title would ever have slipped past me...Adina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860528131098237473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-23957332233676645812010-11-19T19:54:20.946-05:002010-11-19T19:54:20.946-05:00Well I used this great tip today with my 'prof...Well I used this great tip today with my 'professional' other email only to then discover it no longer exists *bangsheadagainsttable* *waitsforformrejection* I did email them and ask that they use the other one, but hey first impressions.

I still have it, so you never know I might get used to it. I haven't submitted much by email yet, so still on the fence. I definitely prefer emailing queries rather than going to the post office all the time for international reply coupons. I sent off for a theme list just for a magazine a week ago and wonder when I'll get it, that's not even the querying. Hopefully in a few years everything with be via email, fingers crossed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-49589286719916859302010-11-18T17:49:28.196-05:002010-11-18T17:49:28.196-05:00back in college one of my professors was asking me...back in college one of my professors was asking me my email address<br /><br />I replied "Should I spell it out?"<br /><br />She said yes<br /><br />i said shouldispellitout at hotmail com<br /><br />i thought it was hilarious, she didn't like me so much the rest of the semesterChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045294003088106262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-5254956963152176892010-11-18T17:03:00.485-05:002010-11-18T17:03:00.485-05:00Great tip Rach.

When I set up my current email, it was for 'writing' and still is, but my writing life has expanded exponentially, so it probably makes sense to take this extra step next round. I ended up sending a draft to an agent because gmail saves email addresses of contacts and i forgot I had an AGENT in there with the same first name as one of my first readers. There were no drastic repercussions, as I followed 2 minutes later with an 'oops, I'm sorry, please disregard' and it was sent AFTER my rejection for a different work, but still... embarrassing...
