Did you know it doesn’t take a break when you are on vacation? Well, I suppose you could take a break on vacation, but I haven’t. So today I sent out a few more queries… okay fifteen. I have my goals to meet here and I haven’t been sticking to my guns since the “No’s” have come in… My goal was to send at least two more queries each time I received a “No”… but since I was on vacation I hadn’t done it for lack of time to sit and research or whatever. That is my excuse anyway…
But now, since I have some down time… I counted the “No’s” that came in and sent some new queries out. Now we wait again… FUN! 
Indeed it’s fun in warped kinda way…
However, I thought you would be interested to see my statistics from my query process.
DEGLAN RISING is out on a full request with “Superstar Agent”… Now what? Do I write something else? Do I edit one of my other novels? I have written three others, two of them could go on query today and the other has already been on query… before it was rewritten in April/May.
Or do I [...]

It’s getting easier to press the send button on query letters. Why? Well, because I realize that just because one agent says no, doesn’t mean the next won’t say yes! The worst that can happen when you query is that you get a note saying “It’s not right for me or my agency at this [...]

And I think, ladies and gentleman… it’s the winner. Yes? No? Maybe? I start sending tomorrow… Weee!
Ten years ago, a legend was born among the Teken Clansmen; one Lord Arthus intends to keep secret.
Each Teken is born with a mark, but tenth year Deglan Borian’s mark has been morphing again, unlike any of [...]
Okay, here we go on the Evolution of the Query… Take 2 on Deglan Rising.
Feel free to comment and let me know what you think… it’s a work in progress but it’s close Oh and go me, I finished Deglan Rising on Friday! Wooot!
QUERY: Deglan Rising
Ten years ago a legend was born, only [...]
I decided to share my query from start to finish for my MG novel. ALL comments are welcome and I do mean that. Hack it up, compliment, just say something. LOL My decision to share it comes with the fact the novel just went over the half way mark and the kids are still loving [...]
I received a partial request… and I am immediately thankful I already started my first person rewrites… Sweeet!
The funniest/craziest part of this request… I didn’t query for it.
No, true story! Honest!
I did query HER… sorta, if you could call that a query I sent. It was more like a “Umm yah, here is the deal [...]

There’s a song rolling around and around my head today… that brings the writing, editing, query, rejection process into perspective.
Adopt it. Live it. Breath it. It’s on!
The band is SuperChick and the song is from the album Beauty from Pain…
IT’S ON
And now for the Lyrics…
It all comes down to this
You take your best shot, might [...]
It’s my birthday week… yes, I am turning older… a whole year older. How does that happen?
In any event, if I don’t make goals for the week, things aren’t going to go as well as they could. Turning older takes thought and consideration. If I don’t have it written down, I just might think too [...]

You know when someone pokes you REALLY hard… it makes you jump and maybe scream like a school aged child? And maybe it even hurts a little but after you rub it for a second you are good to go…?
But the reason they poked you, totally worth it… right?
Well okay, not always… but maybe sometimes. [...]
