I feel really bad because a whole month whizzed by and where I had every intention of posting I just couldn't get it together. Sad to say this was also the same for the writing. I did work on the finished book and traded critiques and chapters with a fellow writer. So I am counting that as productive work. It was completely necessary and very helpful and inspiring.
Inspiring because we both shared honest thoughts on our books and in the end I feel more confident and positive that what my friend and I have written will someday be publish worthy. Not to toot our own horn but, BEEP BEEP! We are on the road to publication, baby.
So after the month of September encompassing rewrites, critiques, a trip to Legoland and the general reorganizing of my life...I'm BACK!
And all I can say is it's a great feeling to be writing again and working toward that goal of Published Author.
Now, if I can just revamp my query letter to incorporate all I learned at the conference in July life will be great.
The goal now is to start sending out more queries in November. I'll need to recalculate the Rejection verses MIA queries to date at another time because frankly I have no idea at this time.
What I do know is this:
I have one book down. It's sequel a quarter or the way done. And a whole new book that's at 9,000 words so far.(That's the one I'm moving on right now since I was told to have two completely different novels done in order to get more interested parties.)
Let's hope that theory works.
I vow to post more in the coming weeks. Seriously, I do.
