Submitting AGAIN

« previous entry | next entry »

I'm submitting my latest ( one of my latest, lol ) WIP's to agents and editors again. Dangit the query letter is strong. The novel is strong. I remind myself of the story, the characters, the power in the message and I hope some agent/editor sees what I see in the experience of the read. Submitting is not for the weak-hearted. Like aging, the ugliness of rejection ( or the lines, wrinkles and sags - of aging ) are hard to take. I hate it. At the same time, for national distribution, this step is necessary.

But you  know me. If the 37 agents I've chosen to query say "no thanks" it will only mean I'm onto yet another of my own creations. Creating my own work from conception to publication has been tremendously satisfying. I love it.

What a difference.

Crossing fingers.

I constantly have everything crossed for you, hon!
And whether you find a publisher, or publish yourself, I'm looking forward to yet another of your books on my shelf! :0)

The submission process really sucks, but your books are wonderful and you will find someone who LOVES it. Your confidence is strong. That's what makes a writer succeed.
