Dispatches from the Querying Front

Querying?

It's what you do when you send your writing out, hoping for it to be picked up by a publisher, a magazine, an agent, etc.

This year, I've had two things going on (well, more, but two biggies) when it comes to writing:

• Spend the odd-numbered months writing every day and
  
• Spend the even-numbered months doing everything else re writing.
  This means editing, working with beta readers, thinking up ideas, outlining the November novel and, yes, querying

So far, I haven't gotten any yeses but the year is kinda young.

I haven't queried much yet, I figure by making it more public, that'll push me to do more.

Here's what I've queried so far:

• Almost Shipwrecked (just under 1300 words); rejected 1x
  
• Darkness into Light (2,000 words); waiting to hear
  
• Eight Nights (800+ words); rejected 1x
  
• The Enigman Cave (over 100,000 words); rejected 2x
  
• The Resurrection of Ditte (a little over 4,100 words); waiting to hear

Thank you for your kind support!
