Because that means I am actively involved in sending my stuff to literary agents. The thing is… and this is a thing you should already know about me… but I am all-art-side-of-the-brain… which means that I can come up with endless ideas of things to write about… children’s books, science fiction, songs, poems, short stories, etc. What I can’t do is market myself.
Between my silly water reflection posts, I am going to do a few posts where I ask for your help. I need advice… feedback… I need help. And if we aren’t helping each other here, what the hell are we doing?
So please, when you see posts that say the word ‘help’ in the title over the next day or two, read the words. We all might learn something from the questions I ask… I just need to figure out exactly what those questions need to be.
Pouring My Art Out 
I’m glad you’re happy about your rejection – and I understand why. But the pleasure starts to pall after too many people tell you that your work ‘isn’t quite right for our list’!
I keep telling myself that, like love, I only need to find one right person… but yeah.
I knew you were up to something – I read in the news that California got weatherbombed, and yet you were just putting up flowers.
We have days of rain mixed in with gloriously sunny days.
Well done for getting that ball rolling! And after half term I’ll be cracking through seven kingdoms.
I am all agog with anticipation!!!
I stand by, awaiting to offer whatever help I can can! But seeing as I can’t do marketing either, I might be useless. But I’m here for you, Arthur!
Thanks, buddy. I may actually need more tech support than marketing advice. I will do the post after I finish babysitting Olivia.
I will be of no use whatsoever with tech stuff… but I am here for moral support! I hope Olivia is well, I love the posts about her the best 🙂
Dang it… her mom is sick, so no Olivia today.
Oh no! I hope mummy Olivia feels better soon 😦
Me too… she is pregnant… with twin boys…
That is going to be an epic babysitting gig eventually… (but seriously, I do hope she is okay)
Me too… and my rates are going to have to go up… to at least minimum wage…
Congratulations on the beginning of a wonderful and sometimes difficult road! If you need help or someone to guide you through the process, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thanks so much.
Congratulations!
I prefer agents who send rejection letters over the ones who can’t be bothered to respond at all.
Thanks… and now I can start wondering how many letters I won’t get… HA!
