Books, Babies, and BBQs
So, I am pregnant….again
Yes this is now three and we are so excited. We have a 12 yr old boy (Bailey) and Sylvia is two. We are two 1/2 months along and all is well. I am tired and swear I’ve gained 50 lbs already, but besides that I feel great. 
Not only do we have the pregnancy, but summer is killing me! We have been so freakin busy. Family reunions, parties, graduations, BBQs, baseball games, golf, etc… It never ends! With that said, I have done absolutely no new writing. I’ve re-edited WICKED WHISPER like a million times but that is all.
Here is my dilemma, maybe you can help me. My full manuscript is out with Rachelle Gardner (agent). I haven’t heard back from her in months. I don’t know if she liked it or hated it. I don’t know if I should edit it or wait for comments. Should I e-mail her AGAIN, or just wait? I e-mail her once a month to check in and she hasn’t respond to any of the three. She seems super nice and I know she is also very busy this summer, so I am not offended, just concerned.
I haven’t sent the novel to anyone else. I really want some feedback. All the agents I’ve sent it to just say it doesn’t fit, bla, bla, bla. No one has said, “hey you suck stop writing” or “do this and that and stop doing that”. What am I suppose to do when I don’t know? I do know I need guidance, but where do I get it? I need a critique partner, but where do I find one?
Authors and aspiring authors, how do you know what to do next?

I would just email her again and see if she is still reviewing the content of the book. I would say something like, “Just writing to follow up on the review of my book and wanted to find out if you are still involved in the review or if I should seek another agent?” You don’t have to sit around and wait for someone else. If she is super nice like you said, then she will kindly respond at least with a yes or no, right?? Anyway, sorry I’m not an author going through your pain of waiting but you will get there. I believe in you!!
Happy i have a prego buddy!! YAY!!!
Love ya,
Katie
