So i have written my first query letter. (fingers cross) i am going to send out to 15 agents that is my original target. i have heard of writers that have queried up to 77 agents before getting a favorable response. that's ok i am young and got some extra time on my hands still. (no kids as yet). will only have them when i am rich. lol. so i got some great writing tips from bubblecow.com and writers digest's newsletters. those guys send me great stuff. i have been following a few great writer on twitter. Amanda Hockings included, have not ask them any thing about writing yet, still afraid of being barked at. i spend so much time inside writing i have grown a bit shy. So with my letters out i will let you know what's happening. Peace out!

Not Another Vampire Story!

Well actually its not, it may have just one little vampire but he does not stick around for long. Something larger and more deadly than a vampire chases him off. Lol. So i have finished my book. (Well i stop at the last page need a day to two to come up with a big bang finish). Hand written it actually. i usually hand write because my mind moves a lot faster than i could type. and i do type pretty fast. So i am going to check for mistakes, polish it a little and then Hello World. if this world does not have room for one more book, well do you believe that's it for me? after three years of writing ONE book. no way this girl is here to stay. i am going to push and shove until someone takes me seriously. well as least take my book of my hands, how they take me does not really matter .i am rarely ever serious. so if you have any advise, except search through a list of one million agents to see if one will represent me, give me a buzz at Facebook.

Like Amanda Hockings i have been trying to tap into this great formidable whirlwind of publishing. i have knocked on doors and would have been thankful if they had slammed in my face, At least they would have been open. i had climbs up walls only to have the rain come down and washed me back to the bottom. i may not be the best writer in the world. But i am a writer.
Wish i wasn't i would have loved to do something else with my time. Discover something new. Trail bugs in the amazon like those modern naturalist. Shake myself like Rehanna, or get some girls to walk around in swimwear like Tyra. All in the name of purpose. Something! instead i sit by my computer and write an write. The sun comes up and goes down but do i notice, i am too busy listening beyond what the eyes can see , seeing beyond the horizon. because that whats writers do. we have to glean the forgotten elements of this world and remind people of  them. 
But i am writing me a story, like this world has never seen, because its about me and my dreams and one day i would stay on top of my game like the rest of the lot. The world would listen, like Amanda got them to. There are many great talents out there. Many yet undiscovered, maybe with this blog some may emerge.
