First Book Written
February 10th 2009 01:26
Ok, so I haven't written in awhile, but it’s because I’ve been busy with other pursuits (not to mention the fact that the current economy is depressing even for me). As much as I thought things would start to get better, I’m just not seeing it yet. Right now President Obama is giving his speech so that means no House tonight. I look at this as a good opportunity to catch up on my blog.
So in the mean time, I decided to get my first novel completed and it’s now done. I wrote a novel that falls in the women’s fiction genre.
I’m really excited about this since I have been working on it for quite some time. I have it edited and polished. As difficult as I thought writing the novel would be, I know the hardest part comes next. Now, I’m seeking a literary agent. (Anyone know one looking for new writers?)
What I’m discovering is that this is an incredibly daunting task. Agents are very picky. Don’t get me wrong, they should be when you consider how much junk they receive. It’s just I am trying to figure out exactly the right formula for the query letter that will help them want to read more. I have a feeling a lot also depends on their mood for the day (not much I can do there).
I know you’re wondering what this has to do with my blog. Not much. But hey, like I said before, the economy is depressing so I need to focus on something else.
