Miss Snark the Literary Agent

Sadly I found this blog after she retired it….

Have a look at it your self! Really good read! Miss Snark the literary agent Miss Snark really makes me giggle and i am learning allot from her!

So I am going through the archives of her blog… I started reading it from the start…

This post made me smile…

How many books do you have?

After reading this I smiled… I own maybe 4 books…

Memories of a ghesha

American Pshyco

Siddartha

and some book I may never read…

I borrow books and I give them away as fast I buy them. I also have this thing about used books… I much prefer a used book over a new one… it just feels more loved that way…

As for the state of my books…

Siddartha is on loan to my lover…. I am even ok if he keeps it…

Memories of a Ghesha… Anyone want it? It is a good book…

American Psycho…. MINE I want to keep this one….

the one I’ll never read… I keep it by my bed with some books I borrowed for the day I really run out of things to read…

hmmmm just food for thought….

The Tribe And research

ok so I have been dragged into a TV show called the The Tribe. My Flatmate is really into it and now I am engrossed in Series 3. It is an odd show and I love it…

Well I am not the type of person who can just sit and watch TV and do nothing else… So I am sitting here watching the show with my tablet pc in my lap reading agent blogs and researching things to improve my writing, and my chances for getting an agent… Praise be to the Blogosphere!

I hope  I learn enough to land me an agent…

And I feel productive and lazy at the same time!!!!!

I’m Joining in on NaNoWriMo this year!

What is NaNoWriMo?

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.

Rejection… not as bad as I feared…

I have sent out the first round of Query letters to agents…

I know I have to sent out allot of letter for that one “yes”

So I have started getting the rejection letters in… I am surprised by the fact that it is not as bad as I feared…

In fact one was a very sweet personal letter, rather than the form letter style. He said that he was very interested in my book, but just did not have the room for it now.

So although no one has said yes yet… No one has told me I am wasting my time either.

Time to go?

Perhaps I have been in DFW too long…

I am stagnate and now I feel alone…

My one reason for wanting to stay do not seem worth it anymore…

I need to escape.. to run away… to go with the wind…

I am suffocating here… now…

I have been here too long…

A few new Pics of me

Me Looking Cute with my booze!!

Must LOVE THE BOOZE

And a close up…. with the red eye lol

I was getting ready for the church!!

I looked good that night…

Yet Sadly I went home alone…

and only got one phone number…

I just want to say…

I am happy to have an open mind…

I just spent several hours “talking” to a person on yahoo messenger…

He spent the whole time telling me I was wrong because I disagree with him…

I even heard him out, because sometimes I do see things wrong. (Although every time I offered a rebuttal he got mad for not letting him finish.)

So I told him to get to the point… He stated his point.. and why… I still disagreed… told him my POV and he disagreed… I did not tell him he was wrong for his view. I just said neither would change the other’s mind and we should just let it slide… In the end it dose not matter…

At this point he called me illogical… I do not see the point in arguing… so I kept saying, “So say you…”

This seemed to offend him… He never did really drop it… I mean if he likes his views then he should keep them… but that dose not mean I am wrong… or for that matter illogical…

he even stooped so low as to make fun of my spelling… I pointed out that I have been up for over 20 hours, I am dyslexic, and and IM dose not have a spell check… My reply was that if I cared more I would pay more attention, and thank God for editors. I saw that as a low for him… I am defiantly easier to understand then people who use the urban slang in text.. That stuff is spelled all kinds of crazy.

Then he told me I should read the bible closer because it is all in there… WOW

I told him he should get out of his cozy little box…

clearing my head

I’m swimming in a sea of fear and self doubt. I am drowning due to my own stubbornness over the hope of something I can never have. What I want I cannot let go of, and what I want dose not want or need me…

I ‘m scared and left alone, this sea I am drowning in is of my own creation… it is my tears…

I tired of being alone, I am tired of being ignored… It is time for me to move on…

Some things I have written

I made a new page for the different things I have written… Some of this stuff used to be on the page about my book, but I want to try to keep that page about the book only. I am not even including the stuff from the second book on there.

After I have more done of book 2 it will get it’s own page. This is all stuff that is already in my blog but set up so it is easier for me and others to find.

I am in a weird mood today and just have the need to orgainze things… before doing this I fixed up all of my notes for Book 2 and retyped up some of my lists…

Jay

My new friend from Belgium….

I met Jay through a set of synchronic moments! I am glad I did. He was in Dallas, and due to a bit of bad luck for him he was stuck with out a place to stay. So he stayed here.

He was fun and funny! We stayed up late watching movies, and having a few drinks. He was off this morning to his next adventure. I hope he has a safe trip! I look forward to the next time he comes to DFW. He says he will because he wants to take pictures of my tattoos…

I would not mind snapping a few pics of him either, we both had our cameras out but also both distracted at the same time. I had to steal this pic off of his profile on couch surfer…
