Yippee, Skippy! (No, not my favorite kitty)
So, Wednesday rejection, Thursday I find out I finalled in Spring into Romance with Breaking Daylight! It's going to --- guess where? Berkley! The same place I was rejected!!
So, Trish and I have made a pact to do one thing toward getting published every day between now and National. I was making my list (because that's what I do.) Here's what I came up with. Can you think of anything I missed?
1) query agents
2) contest entries
3) write synopses
4) market research
5) read writing-related books
6) actually writing ;)
I haven't seen Supernatural yet - the Astros game preempted it. Honestly, could they play on a night BESIDES Thursday, because this is the second time. I'm tempted to watch it before work! I did, however, see Grey's. Be prepared for a serious rant on that tomorrow. All I'll say today is, my brother (he of the broken back) WISHES doctors cared that much!

Hugs on the R!!! Yay on the final!! What irony.
I remember reading BtS at contest Junkies, and it was fab. :)
You could add "practicing your pitch" to your list. Did you get any appointments at Nationals?
I guess if life is going to throw stuff at you, at least it's balancing it.
BTW:
Tag!
(See what the hell I'm talking about on my blog today :)
Hmmm... I tagged you too, I wonder if its the same tag? I checked Trish's and saw she hadn't so I ran with it. Ooops LOL.
Btw-- what about adding brainstorming premise ideas to your list? So you have a pile of ideas to pitch at random? Network and set up appts and hookups for the conference?
Thanks, Sarah! Yes, I got an appointment with Warner and with the new agent at 3 Seas. Gah - I hate pitching.
Natalie, you're right - it balanced right out, didn't it?
LOL, Tawny, yep, same meme! Good idea about setting up appts for Dallas!
Mary--did I miss something? i thought you had an agent??
Toni, as of this week, I don't anymore. We'd decided this would be the last of the submissions she'd make, and if no one bit, we'd part ways. So we've parted.
Ack--I'm sorry.
