FIRST OFFICIAL REJECTION

 

"I’m afraid we got turn downs from the agents to whom I submitted your summary."

 

I received this email  just this afternoon while in Disney.

back to the drawing board.

MY BOOK WRITING ODYSSEY

The efforts continue to create a perfected manuscript of my first novel. 

I have actually had a bit of interest in California for my project and I hopeful that a literary agent with much vision, good connection and divine patience will take me under his or her wing and and shepherd my book into a marketable item, wit maybe a movie to follow (we can all dream). 

On a trip in the Ozarks, there was a new story that would have eroded some of plot. Trish, who is right over 99% of the time, said God was stirring me to complete the book faster. 

It helped. I wrote the final sentence and so when I got a call from LA on another issue, I mentioned it.  That fellow could not help me directly, but he knew a guy and so on.   

I will keep this going as a history of what I hope will be the first of many in the series, Lord willing.

writing a book is HARD

I amazed when I stand at Barnes and Noble that everyone of those authors worked as hard on a book as they must have. I have been at it for over a year, sometimes do not touch it for a while and other times really lose myself in the whole novel writing thing. 

Just finishing it will be rewarding and all the more so if it ever gets published, and if i could dream here for a moment, made into a movie.  

As I just started the blog, I will try to update my adventure in the literary wilderness from time to time.  At least now I am working on the ending.  Whew!
