It has been a week or so since the last update. That what moving out of your apartment will do as well as having nice sunny days outside to relax and read a book in.
The query and book will be sent out today. For real this time. I'm ready. I have the itch. I mostly had to digest the fact that I was actually going to let it go finally. I'm nervous, yet excited at the same time. There is a hollow pit in my stomach and I know I wont be able to eat today. But I know I'm ready. The query was actually the hardest part. For some reason it feels dry to me. I hope that it actually isn't. I also wish I didn't have to send in my prologue as part of my first five pages. That is definitely boring. It just highlights the very distant past of the book.
Though my family of friends of critics say that it is ready.
Now I am very ready for rejection, and I want to share some ideas I have for what I will do when I get a rejection letter.
1: woo! They actually said something back!
2: Now I feel like a real author. Such as J.K Rowling who also was rejected.
3: I may cry...someone thought my baby was ugly.
4: Take a deep breath.
5: Edit what they told me, if they did. If they didn't. Edit anyways.
6: Try try again.
7: Throw something.
8: Go running.
9: Eat.
10: Try to win short story competitions to build a biography.
If and when I do receive a letter and contract. I shall
1: Drink
2: Cry
3: celebrate
4: Work on editing the next books in my trilogy.
5: Doing 4 so I can finally write a new book.
