I have started writing more stories

BlueDimity · Aug 23, 2009

Since awaiting feedback from my batch of agents and publishers I have started writing four more stories, though I know they will need alot more work.
Like my first story, I had to write the begining about five times until I thought it was right.

That's great

Querying can be a stressful time, so it's good that you're diving into new work to keep busy.

Wicked mate.

Good to keep busy, keep your mind off the wait.

Good plan! Just watch out for the mid-querying depression I sometimes get where I can't write because I'm frustrated with querying results.

Querying results CAN be terribly draining. It's sort of hard to sometimes get yourself pepped up into thinking, "A 'no' doesn't necessarily mean it's unpublishable. Just means it's not right for THEM..."

Then you get some of the personalized rejection letters, which...LOL...just make me want to reply and say, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR REJECTION *sob*"

Keeping your mind distracted is a good way to preserve one's sanity.

How about a form letter?

Dear (publisher name here)

Thank you for your reply to my query. Your rejection letter is important to me and has been placed in a queue where it will be taken by the next available operator. Until your letter is dealt with, please enjoy these back issues of Reader's Digest.
