He took me seventeen years and countless really disgusting toads. <br /><br />No writing yet. Yardwork! Writing tonight between Homicide Hunter episodes.B.E.

They always hurt when you KNOW (and others who are in a position to recognize it) you have talent and you can't get your foot in the frickin' door. Eventually, the right project will land in the right inbox on the right day and the angels will weep with joy. Until then, keep writing. It's the best defense we have. Hand in there. I love the snippets of this new-to-you genre and look forward to the completed project down the road.<br /><br />Now go get another cup of coffee and get back to work. Me, too. I have to rewrite a scene in the mystery project and send it back for another round of "Not quite right/there yet." Dammit. *sigh* But it's getting there!

It's not like I haven't gotten a ton of those in the past nine years. ;o)<br /><br />That sounds like a great idea, Janet. I assign you to receive my rejections and I'll receive yours. That way we can get stuff done without worrying. B.E.

If you got a rejection recently, ignore it and get back to work! You're so close! <br /><br />I figure what we need, as writers, is an e-mail that we can assign a good friend, family member to as administrator. We query from that, make a rule that all mail coming in with 'query' in the subject line goes into folder and that folder is ONLY opened by the person we've assigned. They can relay the results to us when/if we want.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
