No, really. It was a very funny thing.....or not so much. Once I had a blog that I loved. I sometimes used this blog to make contact with others. It was fun. I miss my blog. I still write blog posts in my head as I fall asleep sometimes. *sigh*
So guess what? I'm back! (hopefully in a regular way) Oh blog, how I have missed you. I perused a couple of past posts. Not bad. So how is it that it has been ALMOST TWO YEARS since I have posted?!?! I'll tell you. Tis a sad tale. If you look at the last post you will note that I had sent a query to the literary agent whom I had all but cyber stalked, you know, to make sure I was querying the right one. Well, as you can imagine, I was rejected, and looking back the book wasn't ready. It really wasn't. Really. Just because my sister and cousin loved it didn't mean it was ready.
So, I did some editing, some re-writing, and then I queried a few more agents at a time....and was rejected. I just checked my list, and it has only been 8 rejections in total. What have I been whining about? Time to dust off and get back on that horse! I still love this book, and think it is worthy, but I have other stories in me that *need* to get out. I shall get back into a writing routine and set aside time for more revisions and more querying and all of that. I even have a list of people I'm planning to send to next, so look out literary world, I'm jumping back in.
Update: I've had more rejections since I posted this, but I am not giving up. I have ideas for more rewrites. I put it aside for a time, and I think the time is right to write and rewrite. :D
