It’s probably time I go back to Twenty-Five, do a little more editing, re-write my query letter, and try and get it published. This article (click here) has inspired me. I’m afraid of failing- it’s probably the biggest fear I have, so instead of going for it, I don’t even try. I bury my nose in a book, I go off to a job I’m not proud of, and I hide away from the world. Well, that has got to stop! If I can go on the radio and make a complete ass out of myself, I can send out some freaking query letters! Even if that means getting rejected 100 times. *and for the record, I’ve currently been rejected 14 times by agents* I know I could go the self-publishing route, but I kinda want to see if there’s any shot at all of doing it the traditional way. Hell, getting rejected by every agent and publisher under the sun could be a good thing for me- it could teach me resilience, show me that there are worse things in life than failing. And maybe it won’t be failing at all to be rejected, just a rite of passage every writer must go through. Doesn’t it already sound like I’m getting healthier?
