So I Suck.

Not much in the news department, I'm afraid. I've sent out plenty of query letters and gotten plenty of rejection letters in return. So, what am I doing wrong?

Here are some ideas:

1. I'm not patient enough.
2. My query letter sucks.
3. I'm sending my work to the wrong places.

Not sure which category all of this falls under. I guess it's just one of those things where the RIGHT person will end up reading it and everything will begin to fall into place from there. Until then, I'll I can do is wait and hope and continue to work on stuff.

This month:
It's odd. When you've got a full schedule, all you do is wish you had more time to do the things that are really important to you. For me, during my firefighter class, all I thought about was how much I wanted to free up some time to write. Well, December 7th marked my state certification test and I've basically had the rest of the month free.

Have I done any writing? No.
Any editing? No.
Worked on my picture book idea? No, no, no.

I need to get back on the horse and quick-like. I've got the whole story basically mapped out in my head for Book 3, but I'm kind of kicking the sand a bit, not sure it's the right time to get going on it. Part of it is the impending training I've got coming up, but I know if I wait too long, I won't have another break in classes until Summer.

That's too damn long to wait, friends.

Okay, I'm rambling. How sad is it that I find the time to spit out some meandering thoughts on the internet, but I can't be bothered with getting back in the writing saddle?

Enough out of me. I'll post more when I know more.
