Tuesday.
So, I've decided that this coming Tuesday, I'm going to make my first attempt at submitting my novel. At this point, I've picked and picked at it (at the first five pages, the synopses, and even the query letter), and now I'm just stalling. I've talked about this whole process being overwhelming, well, I think in a lot of ways I'm just scared. Scared of rejection... scared of success. I don't know. One thing I do know: I'm getting restless. I'm ready to test the waters. I don't think there's any tried and true method for submitting to agents. But I figure Thursday and Fridays may be bad days because they're so close to the weekend and Monday could be equally bad (depending on what happens during the weekend). So, Tuesday feels good. Or Wednesday, but then that's stalling too. I think I'm ready. I hope I am anyway. We'll see I suppose.

Just dont let em tell you, "You need to edit this out and that out!" I hate publishers like that! I like your storys to stay as they are.
ReplyDelete:) I like them as they are too. I hope that the story is solid enough where they won't want to make big changes. Who knows how much control I'll have in the end though. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. XD
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how scary it is but just because one person doesnt like it doesnt mean another won't.
I bet all the company's that said no to J.K.Rowling are absolutely kicking themselves, lol.
It is scary. But I'm glad I've started the process. I know there will be rejections... it's all part of the process.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sammy, I hope that one day all the people who've rejected me will kick themselves :)
