Yeah, that makes no sense, huh? But if you think about it, its proof positive that I am becoming the writer I hope to be. I only have to go through about a zillion more rejections before someone gets curious enough to ask for the book. Once they do, they are sold. Since every writer gets hundreds of these, I don't see it as a failure; I see it as Step One (though if I was going to be technical, that would be Step Thirty-Seven).
So, I popped open a can of beer and framed that rejection email. That's going up on the wall when I get the new place. I am going to use it as a reminder that if I am successful, there are a lot of stupid people in the world. And if I fail at becoming a writer, then this email will remind me I was warned.
Further Query Letters are going to have to wait as I move from one apartment to the other. I don't want to send a QL from one address and then ask them to send the reply to another, it might look odd.
This move makes me grateful that some companies prefer emails instead of actual letters.Your email address doesn't move from one address to another so you can send one and walk away.On the other hand, since my new place isn't going to have internet access for a bit, its not a wise idea to send emails I won't be able to receive for a while. My job is as a travel agent is nice, but they block access to all email sites at work.
Once I finally get to the new place, my internet speed is basically going to double. Time for some revenge matches on Xbox Live! And I will finally be able to stream stuff off Netflix without it pausing every fifteen seconds to download more of the video. I truly am a child of the internet.
Before I disappear for two weeks, I will leave you all with one last set of Link Lunacy!:
