Hi, I'm Lady Fox and I'm a writer - or at least I'm trying to be. I have (almost) finished my first novel. Draft 6 is 50% polished to perfection (my current level of perfection anyway) but I fear I still have much to learn and that the novel could be better. I've done query letters and synopses (both of which I am terrible at) and have committed the cardinal sin of sending out to lit agents before the 100% polish is complete. I've had rejections - 9 so far - and though it stings I'm very much aware it's all part of the process and it's a subjective business blah blah blah - still hurts though. Currently I'm working hard to polish the last half of the book and while I wait for the rest of the rejections to pour in have decided to join this lovely forum and try to improve what little skill I have (do I sound whiny now? Sorry - not feeling sorry for myself - honest!), swap stories, ideas and knowledge, learn all that I can and give back where I can. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you all, reading your lovely stories and soaking up some much needed advice.
