I need to vent, so please bear with me. DD
I live in Brooklyn, and I quit my day job mid-February. I was (am) looking for another day job, but I've been enjoying having the time off to edit one book, revise another book, and finish a third book. I've also spent the last month sending out those damn query letters.
Okay, so my P.O. Box is in Jamaica, Queens. I only drive out there once a week to check it to save gas. I haven't left the house much since I've been off work, so I didn't know gas was up to $2.90 gallon. SHIT!
I was excited and very hopeful that at least one agent would've requested a partial by now, but so far, nothing but rejections. The one I received in the mail today had my synopsis returned to me, and I just mailed it out 4 days ago. Okay, I try to shake it off. I decide to drive over to Green Acres Mall in Long Island to see if Borders has copies of the journals or magazines that I want to submit my short stories to. No they didn't. DAMN!
