I went to the book store today to write and had an amazing result. I wrote over one thousand words of a novella I had started over three years ago. I also researched a place I am going to submit to when it is done.
It hit me today, if a coffee shop was good enough for JK Rowling then a book store with a coffee shop is good enough for me. It always showed me the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow. Someday soon my name will be part of the displayed books in that store.
I did realize what my problem in the past has been. I write and then get so excited to be done I don't take as much time as I should to edit my writing when I send it off for consideration and get rejected. However I was reading in the writers guide to publishers how to find the secret code and I realize I've reached some of those steps in the past.
After writing my first novel I sent a query letter to an agent and she requested a partial submission, most people don't even make it that far. I need to keep plugging and working and never stop. My sister told me that our family has nominated me to write a book about the family. I don't think a family erotic novel is what they are thinking of. But I will keep it in my mind for a later date.
