waiting is the hardest part.

The hardest part about writing is the waiting to hear back for all the companies you send a query letter too. I have over 57 rejections so far. When I reach 100 i will have a party. It took me two and a half years and most of those rejections to get my first novel published. I am saving them all so that someday when I have an office for writing in I can wallpaper the wall with my rejections. Funny huh. The famous painter Glen Wesman was the mentor to Thomas Kinkade and once told him to "paint the light." basiclly meaning find the light that moves you and paint that. I think that can be applied to writing as well. Write the light, or find what moves you and write that. Some of my favorite movies on TV are the hallmark channel movies about love. I find I write like those. Writing feeds my soul. pattyboatauthor@myemail.com
