Waiting

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Feeling a bit discouraged lately about Trying To Sell My Book. I know it's a process and it takes a while to get an agent interested, but man, sometimes it feels like it's NEVER gonna happen. And I am READY to start getting my stories out there.

Ah, well. I guess that means it gives me time to write my OTHER book. If this first one has no takers, I can always try again with New! Improved! Doctors! once I finish that one off.

A weird spin on this is that you're putting to test two of the pieces of advice I've seen thrown about a lot by published authors: "You're going to get rejected a lot of times before you sell anything" and "Write. Keep writing. Yes, especially when you're waiting to hear back about something. WRITE, DAMN YOU."

Thanks! That's a nice spin to put on it. And yes, I'm making a conscious effort to do both because that's what I hear, but in the middle of things, it's still INTERMINABLE.
