One Week Becomes Two

Hang on, folks. There's a new post a-coming. I promise.

In the meantime, I wanted to let you know:

1. I'm still alive.
2. All three of my early queries bombed out.
3. I've been broken up over it.
4. So much so, that I've not done much writing in the last two weeks.
5. I am not quitting, though I have had the thought.
6. Today I sent a query to an agent from my Relentless Writers FB group.
7. I posted three pitches for BLESSED in today's #PitMad on Twitter, for which
8. I've received two #PitMad favorites - both from small publishers, rather than agents.
9. #PitMad is open for another three hours, meaning there's hope for more.
10. I'll be sending queries for #PitMad requests this evening after dinner, and
11. Hopefully, I'll be back to writing in earnest by tomorrow.

There ya go. I'm crushed, but not dead. Hope rises again.

Thank you to Brenda Drake for coordinating #PitMad, and to all the #PitMad agents and publishers for participating. Especially those who favorited my pitches. Y'all rock!

See you again soon!
