Well, PITCH WARS was a bust.
Submitting was worth a shot, however sitting around sulking about not getting picked is not productive. It's time to move on.
I still have query letters out for several of my books, and even a FULL REQUEST to one agent, but I'm moving forward with self-publication of FALLEN KNIGHT anyway. If something positive happens I can always change my focus, but to avoid becoming stagnant I need to maintain forward momentum and self-publishing FK gives me that. I'm still getting feedback from my critique partners and my plan is to send the manuscript off to be professionally edited in January (which is when I should have enough money saved). When that is process is complete I'll lay out the rest of my launch plan/schedule.
While I'm doing all that I've also submitted one of my short stories to a contest being hosted by Booksie. If you have a moment to read it and leave some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. You can find the story HERE. The title of the story is ITINERARY.
That's what's going on with my writing-life right now. Staying busy...and positive!
