Most people quit. If you don't...if you rewrite, if you keep publishing...you will understand that, "What's the secret?" is not the question, which is, "Are you having fun?"
~ Robert Lipsyte, on the secret to writing
Also, I am guest blogging today over at the awesome blog of Matthew Rush. The non-fiction query that caught the attention of my agent (and publisher) will be available for your viewing pleasure - so head over to The Quintessentially Questionable Query Experiment to take a peek :)
Tomorrow, you can see one of my fiction queries that garnered some interest. The book, however, failed to please, but the query worked well :)
I don't think my brain is functioning just yet. I had to read that several times to figure it out. Lame, huh?
ReplyDeleteI'm off now to check out your query. :)
I'm havin' fun...are you havin' fun?
ReplyDeleteFollowed you over from Matt's blog....looks like we added one another at the same time. Cosmic! hahaha.
Congrats again on Papers, Prose & Poetry!
