It has been a while since I've written anything here, mostly because I couldn't think of what else to add. After all, this blog is devoted entirely to my first book. So now that the whole thing is available, what else is there to add?
The truth: not much.
The only kind of update I can provide is that, after a bit of a hiatus, I have resumed my search for a literary agent, a process which is about as much fun as job hunting. For those of you who don't know, (and since most of the people who have read this blog are my friends on Facebook, this will be probably be old news because I've posted a few statuses on this very subject), I loathe the job application process. It's tedious and a bit soul-crushing, especially when I can't even get to the interview stage. I'd love just to get an interview at the moment, for a full-time job of course since I now have two part-time jobs.
Anyway, once again I'm starting to send out my query letters and hoping for the best. I'm only on my sixth letter, so I'm far behind the number many published writers had to send out. However, I'm a slow mover, a slow reader, a slow writer, and generally move a snail's pace for anything that absolutely must get done. I guess my sin is sloth.
I need to go through Guardians and Dreamers again and do some more editing, but I just haven't had the energy or the time lately. Hopefully, this renewed interest in finding a publisher will ignite my passion for the project, at least enough to open up the file and start working again.
For now, I'll continue working on the other projects on my desktop. Who knows, I may even start on the follow up to Guardians and Dreamers. The story's there, inside my head. It just needs an opening line, an opening image.
Until something more substantial can be posted here, I'll continue to update you all here on my search and how its progressing. Unfortunately, at my speed, the search is going to take a while. Hope you all have patience. :)
