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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Now comes the hard part… wait wait wait. What am I talking about… well, so glad you asked. On Monday an agent (one we will call “Lovely Agent”) tweeted that she was being quite the pushover… so everyone should query her today. Ohh! Lovely Agent, it just so happens that you are on my top [...]

Goodness, I can’t believe it’s March already! I guess time flies when your having fun. I start week five of my running program (More like week seven or eight, but only on week five because I think the program is for super humans, not regular Joe average people like Debbie and I). I am loosely [...]

Time to do some serious… serious… writing updates. I put on my serious face just for this occasion. *serious* UNSEEN CHRONICLES: Some of you have noticed there is a new tab above labeled such. I am posting those as Serial Fiction now… so you can read them anytime. I have written eight chronicles based on [...]

That was the sound of me shooting myself in the foot… or was it? If you have been following my writing/editing/querying/going insane process, you will know one of two things… I am crazy… and I just spent three months perfecting my query. Okay maybe 2 months 29 days… but still. You might also know that [...]
