Congratulations on the novel and the dedication. It does take commitment to your art to get anywhere in the public world. I've taken my poetry into public venues for about a year now, and I'm stunned to find the doors opening when I knock. Here's to sticking with it.Enchanted Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815997287116818456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-62063070478043485912009-12-01T07:34:50.646-07:002009-12-01T07:34:50.646-07:00Take a deep breath, get back on that treadmill and...Take a deep breath, get back on that treadmill and go, go, go!

I continue to play with my own puzzle pieces, finally recognizing that this is not a race, but rather a meandering.

The book's ready now, as is the query, but this is a sucky time of the year to start querying. That's and I'm not mentally prepared yet. This post is a nice swift kick in the you-know-where to get me back in the game. Hmmm. Maybe I better to check the Query Tracker Blog archives for some extra advice. ;-)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-78385819508589047462009-12-01T05:34:47.288-07:002009-12-01T05:34:47.288-07:00Here's to starting!
