Apologies for the lack of witty content (there’s always Fark, isn’t there?) but I’ve been focusing my energy on the novel. Nothing I haven’t said before on that topic. Now that I’ve cracked the 85-page mark (just so you know) I’m starting the process of figuring out how to get the beast published.
So far I’ve been shot down by two literary agencies (not bad for a Monday afternoon) and I know that I’ll be shot down by many more before this is through. But that’s part of the adventure and that’s what I want to share with everyone here…the journey of making all of this happen.
So far, the best advice I can offer is – keep going. I don’t feel like writing all the time, but I know I need to keep trying. Sometimes things shake loose and the words flow like water and other times it’s a struggle to get two paragraphs down. This happened to me earlier this week but then broke loose – I’m simultaneously happy and afraid that it won’t last so I’m going while it’s happening.
What else to say? We’re doing this – we’re really doing this and it’s really happening. I’m still looking for ‘readers’ – people who would like to serve as amateur editors for the novel since I can’t afford to pay for real ones. If you feel like having your name in the ‘Acknowledgements’ section of a novel, feel free to let me know.
