I’m going to start this post with a happy dance and a major high five. Peeps of the blogging world, I FINALLY HAD AN AGENT ASK TO READ MY MANUSCRIPT! None of that: thanks but no thanks. And not a single word of: I’m just not looking for your content at this time. I got […]

February 20, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

I’m on rejection number 19. I know, not too many at all you say! But, I have sent out over 50 queries, and have ONLY received 19 rejections. That is a win, in some regards. I do honestly find enlightenment and encouragement in getting these rejections. I am getting closer, I can feel it. This […]

Ghosts

I’m not afraid of the silence, I don’t shy away There’s nothing to keep me from opening my mouth Speaking now what I was desperate to say And yet I keep the words locked behind my lips I deny the relief of a word well said Because I know you aren’t ready to listen to […]
