The Miss Snark Archives and My Own Snarkiness
I was on the horns of a dilemma. I want to thank the agent who sent me hand written comments with the form rejection BUT is that the correct ettiquette? So, I visit Miss Snark, the agent of all agents. What is the accepted form of communication with an agent? Would a handwritten note strike an unprofessional tone? No comments that I could find in the Miss Snark archives. So I am on my own.My own snarkiness is coming out in my impatience with myself and others. My redneck husband is going through his own stress and is angry that I'm having physical issues due to MY stress. Why are we stressed? Life in general and I want to write fiction not an autobiography. Needless to say, as the Prarie Wife, I wear the bullseye prominently on my back. *Sigh*. He goes through this every once and a while. He resents time I spend away, time I spend writing, time I spend in volunteer work. All of these things are "approved" before I do them. I don't go off willy nilly and tell him to like it or lump it. He agrees to whatever I'd like (or need) to do and then resents it. LOL. I laugh because I'm pretty sure I do the same stupid thing! Ahhh marriage. Such bliss.
I feel encouraged by the new stuff in "Hidden Grief". I've changed so much already. I've now ruined future scenes from the old one with the new stuff I've added. Oh well. I'm hoping to resend the first 10 pages after I get them looked at by my cp. I think I'll have a back up too so I get more than just one comment.
I need to write my Query and Synopsis over again for the Romance Divas contest. Thank God! Maybe I'll be able to clean it up and catch an editor's eye.
All snarkiness aside, I will say that I have gotten encouragement from other authors and that makes all the difference to me. I never get tired of mentioning the generosity of other writers. Off to write. "I blow, I blow so off to work I go."
