A New Time Waster

I admit that I spend a lot of time at the computer and not always doing something with a purpose. Well, wouldn't you know that someone would have to invent another time wasting device to keep me at my computer even longer. I'm talking about blogs. Sure, I can fool myself into thinking that I'm searching out resources and hoping to make some new contacts, but the truth is that I kind of enjoy hearing about other people's problems, successes, and day to day lives.

Of course, when I explain the amount of time spent reading other people's blogs to my husband, I say that it's all for research. Reading from other people's points of view is a great way to help develop characters in my novels. Conflict, motivation, goals, soul-searching, it's all there. Makes sense to me and I think I've got him fooled.

I'm off to search out some new and interesting blogs.

Rejected...again

I opened my e-mail, and there it was--the dreaded reply from an agent who had asked to see my manuscript. No need to read the message, because as soon as I saw her name as the sender, I knew. But it's okay. I was asked for a full manuscript. That doesn't happen often and it means I'm one step closer to my goal. So, I keep submitting both my manuscripts and keep my fingers crossed that the day will come sooner rather than later. You know, the day when someone sees my potential and takes me on as a client. In the meantime, I keep writing.

Have a good one,
Cathy
