T.G.I.F.

Not really. I'm unemployed so whether it's Friday or Sunday, there's really no diff.

Well, ten agents are reading my ms right now. I just got an R from Jessica Regel stating she enjoyed my writing but found the plot halfway through 'melodramatic.' I'm certain she didn't finish the ms. *shrugs* Maybe it is...but this IS a book about teenagers...and fantasy...so...?? Oh well. It didn't work for her. That's okay. This wasn't her genre anyway.

Last night at 7:30 I received a partial request from another agent. So that was nice to replace the rejection with a request.

I really need to start part deux of my series. I've been putting it off because I don't know how to bring back the bad guy. Damn JK Rowling--she took all of the good stuff! Well, I should just start...since I'm unemployed, there's really no excuse.

On a final note, there is a contest to have the fabulous Barbara Poelle read your ms. To get through, you needed to create a tag for your ms. Tags are: In space, no one can hear you scream (Alien) The truth is out there...(X-Files) So mine was Fasten your chastity belt, it's going to be a wild ride. (Virgin) It sounds a bit like erotica-haha. Anyway, small victories--I've made it through to the next round! Happy Friday!

Bastille Day!

Ok, so this post really has nothing to do with France's independence day but I needed a title.

I vowed to write on my blog everyday and I've already failed miserably. But what's a wannabe writer supposed to do when her ms is finished but she doesn't have an agent??

Well, since my ms is the first in a series of three, I suppose I should start part deux. What else can a girl do? Actually, I can think of a billion things but no time for that.

So if I may dole out some sage advice, always have something to work on vs. being a slave to your email, waiting for that offer to trickle in. A watched pot never boils...and getting away from the query process does provide a sense of freedom. Hmmm...maybe it's Bastille Day for me after all.
