| Real Writer's Get Rejected |
A lot!
Got another rejection today. Up to 4, which is nothing.
Total Queries sent: 8
Total responses: 4 (all NO's)
I'm not at all phased by the no's--but I'm bothered that I've only sent 8.
I must send more. |

| Something to think about |
It's not about what you cannot do, it's about what you can do. |

| I'm a writer, too, damn it! |
Still in the dream job mode of thinking. I actually get mad at myself when I don't include writer when I think of dream jobs. I wrote a whole damn book and now do absolutely nothing with it. Just for the record: writing it is not enough. I thought it was, but it ain't even close folks. I have to start kicking it into high gear and working harder to get it published. It's good. It needs to stop wasting away on my hard drive and needs to sent out into the world. |

| Dream Job |
Quick! Dream job.
My answer: Artist. I want to live by the beach and paint. Have a little shack to sell my artwork, and seashells. Yeah, I'll sell seashells, too.
Funny how artist always comes up when I spontaneously answer. I really ought to do something about that again. don't you think? |

| I wish |
I wish had the passion to write again. The only writing I do any more is for school. I'm good at it, but it's not what I had in mind when I said I want to be a writer. I suppose it's the path I'm on right now...
I wish I would make the time to do more with my novel. I wrote it. I paid to have it edited. And now it just sits here. Sure I sent it off to a few agents, but with a half-assed synopsis and and a less than stellar effort. I more or less did it just to say "see I did it". I don't have the time (or don't take the proper time and make a real effort) to really do it right. Reasons or excuses...whatever...they're both lame.
I wish I had the passion to paint again. I haven't picked up a paint brush in a very long time. I feel like my creativity has vanished. The ironic thing is that I have displayed some of my artwork at my desk, and people compliment it all the time. Now that I have the courage to display it and be proud of it, I don't have the courage or ambition or desire to create it any more.
Sometimes I think my life is a cruel joke. OK, maybe not a cruel joke, but something. I don't know what.
I wish I could get such a good night sleep that I didn't feel tired any more. Every moment of every day I just feel tired. I kind of gets to me after awhile. |
