All writing makes me happy, but the nitty gritty work of getting stories fit for querying or submission can be draining. It’s nice to have a side project that’s just for fun, I don’t have to worry about making it perfect or publishable

But querying straight up sucks. Like is really the worst (and I’ve been on sub twice, I’ll take that any day over querying). It’s like having your soul sucked away by that torture machine in The Princess Bride.

The good news is I’ve worked on my writing every week day for the past two and a half weeks, so things are being done (mostly revising an old MS so my daughter can read it…which still counts, by the way!) and I’m happy with that.

I nudged that agent two weeks ago (because they said to do so after three months, it had had been more than four at that point) and haven’t heard back. I mean, there’s still a tiny shred of hope, but let’s be real, it’s time to move on.
