Not Crying in My Beer

Just in case you wonder, I did in fact take exactly one day off, and it wasn't exactly to mope, although that is a natural reaction to rejection.

It was to WORK LIKE A DOG in my other life. You may or may not know that I am a college professor, and there are paper seasons. This is one of them.

Good friends are also coming to visit, and well, my house needed a thorough cleaning, my lawn needed mowed, my porch needed painting, and the ceiling in my dining room needed retexturized. So yes, the husband and I have been busy. When I found out the agent didn't need the rest, I shuffled my immediate priorities just a little differently.

I am still determined to send out to more agents. Those of you at the beginning of your career know the drill. Those of you in the middle of your career remember the drill. :) Persistance is key.

It's my hope to have the book ready and off again before I head out to Faerie Con in Philadelphia on October 11th. I would also like to have my list of potential agents organized and completed by then.

Hope you are all out there, being productive. I'll keep reading and sharpening. You too.

All in all, a good day. You know, I enjoy doing this. :)
