Q is for Quizzle

Man.

If you're here from Alex's blog, I don't know what to say.

That dude is so much cooler than me.

So much more giving.

He works way harder than me on his blog, and his blogging (yes, that's two different things).

He already has a book out.

He gives WAY more help and support to both friends and strangers than he ever receives.

I don't know what to say for myself.

I'm not saying I'm not cool. I am. But to stand next to Alex is a little different.

If you're new here, please have a look at my pages, and the archives, when you have time, but I don't have a real post for today.

Tomorrow I'll be helping my friend Michael G-G with his query. Friday too. You could just become a follower and then come back for that.

Actually, that would rule. Do that, please.

    Don't compare yourself to Alex and think you come up short. You're cool too and all of our journeys are different.

    You blog is fantastic and cool in your own individual way. I mean, look how many followers you have. They can't all be wrong.

    Ya lured me in with 'quizzle' (a truly great word) and then post a commercial for Alex. Yeah, he rocks -- but you know you can't compare yourself to anyone else, right? Rest assured that somewhere someone is wishing they were cool like you.

    You guys are all so nice! I didn't mean to sound like I was fishing for compliments, I'm just flattered that Captain Ninja Alex would highlight me out of all the Q blogs out there.

    I'd say you're super cool, Matt. You help people with their queries. And that's not an easy task to do. It takes a coolness factor to give such honest and great advice. :D

    Best quote ever:

    I must use that now, and often. :)

    stop being so modest, you are very cool and super helpful. Look at all the query success stories you've got... Well, I know of some anyway.

    Not sure if I'll be around tomorrow, but I'll try~ :o)

    How many more cool people are out there in blogospace?

    Matt, you're all about cool. And "Q." In fact, I'd say you're "qu-ool."

    Looking forward to tomorrow.

    I will obviously have to check this Alex guy out.

    ... but not like that. Erm.

    But you definitely don't give yourself enough credit. Really enjoy your blog, your thoughts, and your query critiques. Which, by the way, thank you for stopping by yesterday and offering some feedback on my query. HUGELY appreciated <3

    You are pretty cool, even bordering way cool...

    I am always learning stuff from your blog: other writers, queries, books, a couple movies sprinkled in, and my recent discovery of a new hot sauce.

    I don't know, you set the bar pretty high.

    I wish I could be here more often, but this month has turned my blog reading upside down. Once the month is over, I will be sure to head back and hang again!

    You are mixing up the words cool and kind, because I'm cooler than both of you, but you two are the kindest bloggers out there.

    You are icy cool and your swear word dictionary is way cooler than mine.

    Alex is awesome, but you are not Alex. It doesn't mean you are not awesome though.

    You are far far too modest. You have helped so many people, and I think your coolness goes without saying.

    And for the record, I found Alex's blog today. Through you. Not vice versa.
