The waiting game…sucks!

Ugh!

It’s only been two weeks and a day that the agent has had my full manuscript. It feel like a life time. I’ve been doubting myself lately. Maybe it’s not as good as I think. Maybe I can’t write. Maybe it’s all just crap and I’m a crap slinger.

When do you ever know your good? Is it when an agent likes it? When a publisher likes it? When the readers/magazines like it?

I never knew how tough the publishing business really is. I guess I thought I would write a book, everyone would love it, I would make millions and Stephine Meyer and I would have play dates with our kids. It’s not like that…at all.

March 26th will be the one year anniversary of the day that TRUE SIGHT came to me. I was driving home from work and was given the entire book. It was GOD, I know it, I believe it. I started writing that day. Yadda Yadda Yadda Here I am one year later. I have a manuscript that I love and a full read out. I had a partial but they passed (sad). I am sure it was for the best (that’s my way of coping).

What’s next? I have the outline for the next book in the SPARKLER series TRUE FRIENDS, it’s good. I am thinking about this summer and what my BIG project will be. Who knows maybe I’ll just sit around in the sun and read paranormal books like I love to do.  I just finished CITY OF BONES, it was really good. I will post a review later.

For now, I’m going to reread TRUE SIGHT and keep editing. I’ll figure out the next step, or he’ll let me know.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully the agent will love it and you will all be able to read TRUE SIGHT soon.

Nightworld is another really good books series…love it.

  • I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. I don’t think we ever get to where we KNOW we’re good. Wondering keeps us humble I suppose.
