It’s Wednesday, right? I think I might be turning into a pumpkin earlier and earlier at night, this does not bode well for my writing. What happened to my ability to stay up late and jam to music and write? Perhaps it went dormant or maybe it’s in a state of shock! I’m currently working on writing a synopsis as I work toward finding an agent. The rejection responses (or lack of responses) have started to roll in. I’m really trying to find the best agent who will appreciate my storytelling voice and the fact I’m not able to pigeonhole my manuscript to one genre. There are elements of paranormal, sci-fi, and romance in the novel. But at the end of the day, it’s about character building and layering and hooking my readers into the world I’ve created. Hopefully, that equates to a marketable audience. Does anyone else have these kinds of thoughts? Sometimes I worry I’m on the wrong track and I should have made different edits or cuts throughout the book so it would take on a different tone, but then I wouldn’t have been true to myself and the story I want to convey. <deep breath> This is only the beginning of the journey, I mustn’t weight myself down so much with worry. Time to turn into a pumpkin and work more on the synopsis tomorrow.
