It's character-driven as well, and I keep going back and forth on whether I want to continue in that direction or to try a different approach.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-92032437179581452102016-07-08T08:51:23.344-07:002016-07-08T08:51:23.344-07:00Hello, Jenni.

Good for you receiving a kind comment from your instructor. This keeps writers going.

I've taken a break for now (too focused on edits and everything for the one coming out in November) but I'll be back to the query trenches fairly soon. Keep writing that story and try to keep your mind off of the waiting! I know it's hard.

I will get back to it though, but I struggle to do both at the same time. I suppose I better figure out how.

Querying is always disheartening. Putting out a new book and seeing reviews come in is disheartening too. Even if 9 people love it, it's the 10th who didn't like it that I'll remember most. I have no idea how to put the worries away and focus on a new project. I just muddle along... Good luck with your queries!

Right now, I am doing a final revision after my writing coach/book editor sent me the last critiques. <br />I have planned query writing the last part of August and query writing causes my knees to shake, so all the best. <br />I am blessed to have my foot in the music world. I sing so when I have to do a concert or go to music rehearsal my thoughts automatically tune out what my writing. That's how I focus. <br />All the best with your query. You can do it.<br />Shalom aleichem,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.com
