Simples.

Write something else and try and become more excited about your new project than your old one.

Your query is now a business letter which will bounce back and forth between you and prospective clients. It'll need revision and adjustment from time to time - but basically it's an algorithm, a mindless computer program:
10 Send
20 Recieve rejections
30 Revise
40 IF Status = "No offers" Then
--------Goto 10
--------Else
--------Champagne Status = "Open"
--------End if

Pretty dry, right? Doesn't writing something new sound soooooo much better now?

I agree with Hillsy. I think the best way to get over query nerves is to get back to writing and re-focus on your next work.

Congratulations on doing something scary! :D
