It's the day we've been waiting for! Mockingjay's official release is TODAY! I know some lucky souls already have their hands on it and hopefully I'll be joining them VERY, VERY soon. I haven't been this excited since I went into Borders to get Deathly Hallows at noon on its release day.
Will the Capitol be overthrown?
Will Peeta escape?
And most importantly, WILL Katniss choose Gale or Peeta?
What's Up Wednesday is a weekly blog hop created by Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk to help writers stay in touch. What I'm Reading: Still Boy on the Bridge. I'm a little less than halfway. I ordered a bunch of new books from B&N and they shipped today, though, so I'm going to have to finish it before they get here. What I'm Writing: Nothing at the moment. Working on getting Weredragon's synopsis down to a more acceptable length. My writing goal for the week is to get ten queries out there again. What Works for Me: Sometimes it's not giving myself rewards. I've talked before about how I like to give myself a little break after I complete a task on my to do list. Sometimes that break is an episode of a TV show. Recently, though, I've had to quit doing that because I find myself spending more time watching Stargate or How I Met Your Mother than actually working. For now I just work through my to do list and then I get to have f...
What I'm Reading: I finished Pride by Ibi Zoboi and came out of it with an overwhelming desire to watch Pride and Prejudice again. Weirdly, I think I would've enjoyed this more without the P&P connections (I really don't know how to handle it when "Mr. Darcy" is their father), but it's a solid book nonetheless. Next up is Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak. What I'm Writing: In terms of word count, October has been my most productive writing month this year. A Thousand Miles is in the home stretch. What I'm Listening to: Right now, a lot of things, but I want to make a special shout-out to The Good Place podcast. It's such a wonderful, upbeat podcast about the best damn TV show. I love listening to a group of people who love their work and hearing the behind the scenes stories of how the show is coming to be. What I'm Watching: Let me say how much I love This is Us and The Good Place. So much. Last week's episodes for bot...
I started querying yesterday! :D And so begins the long and painful process where I check my email every two minutes even though messenger tells me whenever I get emails. I know that more than likely it's going to be a rejection. I accept this. I had a lot of rejections with Destiny and I'm sure Jump will have her fair share. Everyone has rejections. So how do you deal with them? My five four-step process to deal with rejection: 1. Read the rejection. Remove it from your inbox. You can delete it. You can print it out and burn it if you want. Personally I just file all my rejections away in folders just in case something happens to my query list and I need to check to see who's responded. 2. Check that query off on your list. 3. Mourn it for a minute. 4. Eat chocolate. Or ice cream. Or chocolate and ice cream. 5. Send another query. I subscribe to the revenge query system. No, it doesn't involve sending hate mail to every agent that rejects you. The revenge qu...
