I have to keep reminding myself that a win is a win. A year ago, I would have been happy if any of my writing had been accepted for publication. Now, I have five publications, and I'm getting jaded. I still want an agent to take the memoir seriously.
I still have other short essays that haven't found a home yet, either. Honestly, I am not submitting as much as I should. It goes in waves. Currently, I am working on revisions to my query letter and synopsis for the memoir. I've been working with my instructor from the workshop. After that, I will start another round of queries and see if anything improves. My mentor says summer is not the time to query anyway.
I'm not sure where this is going.
I continue to hear from Violet occasionally. No movement there. She is still trying to move forward with her plan. It's not going well. He seems to be keeping her from making money. I get it. It's hard to get ahead these days when you are starting from nothing. Hopefully, she'll figure it out.
Congratulations. Writing is a tough gig under the best of circumstances.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. I'm not expecting to make money from it. I get enjoyment from sharing my work.
DeleteI didn't know you wrote.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have had a few things in print. I would still like to get my memoir out though.
DeleteI do Hope you're able to get everything eventually Published that you truly want to. And hopefully Violet will figure things out.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteYour writing prompts me to write more expressively and, to some extent, to be more personal in exploring myself. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am glad I am inspiring you.
