But like you said, it's different for everyone. I'm a super slow writer, and sometimes when I read authors talking about how they can write 10 books in a year, I can't help to think I'm doing something wrong, LOL and yeah, it sucks. But just gotta keep at it.Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064636500827230911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-80026702646996316002012-08-02T13:11:33.869-07:002012-08-02T13:11:33.869-07:00Wow... that is a fantastic post.

(Saw this via Jennifer Laughran's equally fantastic post.)<br /><br />I am deep in the query trenches with my third book and have amassed exactly 175 rejections between all of them, if I count no responses (thank you, Query Tracker, those are such good stats to have at my fingertips, ugh). I very much feel like punching people who spout the platitudes you mentioned. <br /><br />BUT... I've finally figured out how to do this. As you said, I have a manuscript that's marketable, the writing is good, and it's free of cliches. I just haven't found the agent yet.

Thanks, Leigh Ann, your ice cream cake is in the mail.<br /><br />Much of the success in this industry has to do with timing and luck. And I believe you create your own luck with hard work and determination. I wish Publishers Marketplace would put up stats alongside all of its deals. <br /><br />After 300 rejections from agents, 58 rejections from editors, "Pony Palace" a debut novel, has sold in a very nice deal to an exhausted author...finally.BR Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922746599627072649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-85288321140646846492012-08-01T19:17:16.823-07:002012-08-01T19:17:16.823-07:00Glad to hear it!
