A Quick update--traditional publishing adventure and more...
Before I shut my eyes to sleep, I wanted to let those know a couple of updates from my journey as a inspiring writer.
First update, I'm working on a new manuscript. If you had liked "The house On Elm", you'll like this new manuscript that is a total remake of my first self-published novel. I'm loving it as I write away in this new manuscript. I'm currently reading: Stephen King's Pet Sematary which had gave me a large boost inspiration and new insights into writing.
For maybe a good hard month or so (give or take), I've hit a snag in writing. I wanted to have the next big thing, but I failed to come up with anything really good. I jumped around a bit with some very rough drafts on a few manuscripts, but my focus wasn't glued as I hoped. So, I took a breather from writing a bit--or so to say--and began reading. Something sparked inside, I felt while reading Pet Sematary. I danced about inside my head about rewriting "The House On Elm" from a different perspective than first person perspective, and I began writing the first draft of the new manuscript. I'm completely amazed how far I've came. I handed my couple chapters (still in rough draft) over to my mother--it's ill advised to show work to family and friends; they'll hate to hurt your feelings, but my mother told me good amount of truism--and said my style had changed and became more flowing than my previous self-published novel. Indeed, it was good to hear. But I have a lot to still write. There's two manuscripts that I've sent out to literary agents. Now I think back on those two; I cringe a bit, in the inside, and go "wow! What was I thinking?" inside my head.
At that time, they felt good. But now I see my errors.
So, this brings me with the second update. If you had sent out your manuscripts and get a polite "no thanks", those rejected manuscripts help develop a thicker skin. If I was a gambling man (which I'm not), I would bet this new manuscript will make it. We'll have to see how everything turns out. But for now, my fingers are nippy-cold, and my eyes are weary and need some shut eye.
As always, awesome people, keep being awesome.
