It's official, my book, FÉLICITÉ FOUND, is on submission with publishers. It's a trip and a half. Not only am I super excited, I'm nervous, terrified, and extremely impatient. I thought that querying for agents was awful, but it's only been one week and I'm back in the routine of checking my email every three seconds. Ok, I'm not that bad, maybe every twenty seconds...
*coughs*
And I'm worried things won't work out how I'd like. Yet, I hope to have success in this leg of my journey to become a published author. Wish me luck. Cross your fingers and toes. Say some prayers... All right, thanks, friends!
This reminds me of something Joe Konrath said: “There's a word for a writer who never gives up: published.”
I had that quote on my blog description for a while. Giving up has never been in my writing vocabulary. I urge you to never, ever give up. Don't let giving up be in your vocabulary. I sure know I won't!
I will keep you all posted on the haps with submissions.
How's your progress going on your journey to published-ome?
I'm cheering you on!!! Keep going!
Writing. Jewels.
Great news! I hope it's not too terribly nerve racking for you.

ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to be published as well. I have a short story ready, I need to collect some good sites to submit to and get started. I'm lazy in this part though, I get caught up in writing new material and finishing others... and school sometimes. :P
And we are fellow Paranormal campaigners! I look forward to following your blog! :D
Thanks! Fight to get there! That's what ya gotta do. Be diligent and you'll be on your way. Good luck with submitting. That proves to be a very excited on a masochistic type level. haha Glad to meet you Jacob!
DeleteThat's really exciting! Keeping everything crossed for you. Hope you hear good news soon!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks, sister.
