There's something exciting and romantic about querying and wondering which agent will be "the one." Then the rejections start coming, and you begin to wonder if you're going to be a writing spinster and if you should cut bangs.
Finished a big structure change edit this morning! Is it query ready yet? No, but it's getting closer. And I can't wait for it to be ready to send off!
10 was upset a few months ago when I started a big structure change to a MS. I've let it go a few months to get the old rhythm out of my head, but last week I started working on it. About 150 words in I show the change. 10 said, "Ugh. I think I do like this way better." 😆
My CPs said I'm a couple tweaks away from my #KidlitChuckleChallenge entry being ready and that it was funny. I had read it so many times I was beginning to wonder if it actually was. Now, to bring the editing magic to my other projects.
