So read the horoscope that (instead of the Sun) greeted me this morning. I can only pray that it was handed to tarot.com by the Fates themselves, because I recently began my quest for an agent anew, and, well, I can use all the good karma and support I can get.
That said, I will be chronicling my exploits in publishing and writing in the coming months for the amusement of all, particularly me. I guess we'll be able to see if this forecast proves accurate. By the way, I say "chronicling exploits" instead of "sharing insights," because if I've learned anything about writing, it's that it spawned the word subjective. Everyone's process differs. Everyone's tastes differ. And, most importantly, everyone's story differs.
Still, I'm willing to share mine...for what it's worth. Let's start with the bare bones facts about where I stand in the publishing process and go from there, shall we?
ANJIDIA
Genre: YA Fantasy
Status: Revisions complete, in query
No. of Rejections: 16
ANJIDIA: THE FALL
Genre: YA Fantasy
Status: First draft in progress
UNTITLED PROJECT (WHICH REVOLVES AROUND CHARACTERS WHOSE STORY WAS SCRAPPED)
Genre: Unknown
Status: Plaguing me
I think I'll leave it at that for now, or rather that and a question: What kinds of tricks do you employ to keep yourself motivated and on-target? I'll share mine next time!
Until then...

I like to stare out the window and listen to music. Most of the time I never really see what I'm staring at or hear what I'm listening to, but it's a lot more fun than empty walls and silence, ne?
I usually listen to music. I'm getting to the point where I have to write so many words/pages a day before I can consider myself done for the day.
