time- see what's become of me

"How much do you want to be a published author? That's how much you have to read."

With the exception of this weekend, it seems as if all I have been doing is reading and writing. My freelancing is working out smoothly and I have been inspired for a lot of my already-started manuscripts and new stories altogether.

It doesn't leave me much time to query literary agents and publishers about my two self-published works.

Today, I am trying to get back into the groove by going over my writing to do list.
Tomorrow, I will continue. I will. I will.

Sigh.

Other than that- the past few months have been very exciting- filled with travel, and good friends. Then, there's always the good food and good wine part.

Yay.

So back to the writing board I go with my thousand ideas. Pray for me! :D

thank you thank you thank you,

persistence and luck

(Taken from Ray White's Excerpt in How I Got Published)

"Persistence is sending letters again and again, ignoring the rejections, sending more letters, and so on, until somebody caves and takes your book. Luck is buying a lottery ticket. Luck is your Uncle Phil being the manager of a large publishing house, or your cousin's babysitter being the daughter of a top literary agent."


Ok- can someone please tell me if I have any of these things, and maybe i'm too googly to realize it?!

wah.

still waiting.

inspiration from successful authors

(Excerpt taken from F. Paul Wilson in ('How I Got Published')

"That- the satisfying conclusion part- is, I believe, the best reason for an utline. Count how many novels have done this to you: You're sailing along, digging the prose and the plot and the characters whe, about three-quarters of the way through, you start to notice it falling apart, eventually concluding not with a satisfying bang, not even ith a whimper. It doesn't really end, it just seems...to...dribble...away..."

Ok.

So this happens to me...except, upon completeing 'A Coincidence Away', I figured there just has to be a part 2. Possibly, part 3.

Dear Literary Agents....

I'm still waiting!!

inspiration from other authors

(taken from Christopher Moore's Excerpt in 'How I got Published')

One night, the week before Thanksgiving, my Hollywood agent called me at work, w hich he had never done. He said that Disney wanted to buy the rights to my book outright for $300,000, but they had to have an answer by 8 p.m. or the offer was withdrawn.
(eventually....)

My agent called an hour later. He said, "We closed at $400,000."


dear literary agents looking for new blood-

hi!! i'm over here- i have more ideas than you can possibly imagine and it's not in my blood to give up or to lose a fight.
