Ok, so not a spectacular number there, but better than nothing! I'm in the midst of judging AND am expecting more contract work as well. But I keep plugging away. Every time I think I should give up, I read some of my favourite scenes and get inspired again. I LOVE this story so much.
How do YOU stay inspired to keep submitting?
Our weekend looks to be a busy one, with family coming to visit. Should be fun :) Especially as, at least for Saturday, the weather is looking half-decent.

Good luck Tess. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Congrats on sending out those queries, Teresa. It's hard to do but the only way to win!
Thanks DM and Annette :)
Woo hoo! Two out the door and hopefully two requests coming back, right? :-)
How do I stay inspired? Going to the bookstore and telling myself that SOME DAY I will have a book on the shelves!
Good luck with the queries!
As for staying inspired...I just think what my life will be like if I have to spend the rest of it sitting in a pod shuffling paper. That keeps me plugging away.
Thanks, Melissa and Kelly! And it's good to hear what inspires you to keep on with this crazy business :)
Congrats on getting those queries out.
How to stay inspired when submitting? I think I finally realized the worse that can happen is they will say no. It won't change how my family feels about me or the car I drive or the house I live in. The important things will remain the same.
Thanks Rene - words of wisdom :)
