I try to remember that there are umpteen reasons why a submission might be rejected and that most of them probably don't much to do with my writing.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-22333056114125990612010-11-28T14:20:53.344-05:002010-11-28T14:20:53.344-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-16225613577777769592010-11-18T06:30:53.799-05:002010-11-18T06:30:53.799-05:00I do all of the above!

I'm thinking of getting a cat though!<br /><br />My biggest motivation though is to look back at my old novels and see how much of a better writer I am today. Every project gets a little better and that is an accomplishment that is visible and worth getting excited over.Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-65879876197366110112010-11-14T21:03:51.490-05:002010-11-14T21:03:51.490-05:00I tend to immerse myself in something new, but I w...I tend to immerse myself in something new, but I wonder if I wouldn't be better off sending out more queries. I'm always afraid to do that. I think I'll figure out how to fix what got me rejected and then I'll want people to query who have never seen it before.<br /><br />And don't psyche yourself out by thinking of how long it takes to write another novel! We just write because we're writers. For everything there is a season. We'll send the next one out when it is meant to be.Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-65887634981848220852010-11-12T08:10:51.786-05:002010-11-12T08:10:51.786-05:00Hmm..

For me, sending out another query quickly really helps me. I guess it's because doing so lets me feel "in control" of the situation again. <br /><br />I think I might try that giving it to my new puppy idea, though. :-)Carmella Van Vleethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986145304172231832noreply@blogger.com
