Literary Stage Fright

September 18, 2010 | 1 Comment

Sent off yet another query letter today. In my opinion query letters are the second hardest thing about writing, well, aside from actually starting on writing something. Hit the send button or putting something in the mail also makes me a bit queasy with fear. And unlike regular stage fright which is over in (hopefully) a few hours at most, you get to wait for a few weeks or longer to hear anything back. Still, it’s a good thing, this fearful hope. After all, if you don’t try, you’ll never reach your goals.

This has been a hard year, writing wise, mostly dry. Not for lack of time, just for lack of effort. Need to get my rear in gear and start writing something, anything. After all, a muse doesn’t respond if you ignore it.
