I know I've been a slacker lately - it's been weeks since I've written a post. And I haven't done a lot of work on my book either. But I'm making a promise to myself to stop slacking off & start writing more.
I have been working on a sample query letter for "What Luck," to be critiqued at the SCBWI conference. I don't have a lot of experience with writing queries, although one of my journalism classes at NYU covered queries briefly. So, of course, I've been a perfectionist again, and have written & re-written the same query letter 6 times. But yesterday, I finally decided that it's OK. And I'm sending it out today.
The conference is less than 3 weeks away now. I'm a little anxious about the query & manuscript critiques, but I'm looking forward to them. Hopefully, I'll get some good professional feedback, that will help me build the momentum I need to finish this book.
But I know I need to have my own momentum, too. I need to write more of my book, and post more on this blog. That was my goal at the beginning of this year, and I want to keep it. So, as of now, I'm a slacker no more!
