The Latest News

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening readers!

For those of you still here on this journey with me, thank you.  For your patience and support, I thank you.

On with the latest news, I have come to a realization.  Looking back at the queries I've sent over the past couple of years I have noticed that I not been sending NEARLY enough.  Trying to find the perfect agency to represent me.  Trying to get the query letter just right. But the fact is I don't KNOW how to get a query letter just right.  I don't KNOW what makes the perfect agency.

But I DO know who I am.  I know my stories.  And that is what I should be sending out in my query letters.  Instead of being so focused on getting the format, the number of sentences, or the lines spaced perfectly, focus on me as a person and my writing as the art I've always seen it to be.

I've made a deal with myself, not a resolution for the new year.  To send a minimum of 2 queries a month.  This is a small goal but when the everyday gets busy, 2 feels like a lot.  I have already sent my two for this month but I know it won't be my only ones.  I particularly liked the second agency I queried.  They had an online submission form where I just had to fill in the blanks.  Can't do THAT wrong.  :-)

Yes, the rewrite of Love Revisited is still in the works.  I have not forgotten about it.  Another story keeps popping up in my head and you know what that means.  I must put pen to paper.  Oddly enough, this last one reads more like a screenplay versus a story because it switches from first person to third person.  Not sure how I feel about that just yet but it's FUN and that's what's important.

I hope for amazing things for you all this year.  Make it a year to remember!  And as always,

Happy Reading
