Frustrated

 

Frustrated is the name of the game right now. I excitedly fired off two query letters and despite spending a bit of time working on them, I don't think they were great. I tried to cram too much into them. They both came back with rejections. Since then, I've continued the editing and am up to version 8 on the draft. I've also been trying to workshop my query letter in some writing groups.

Time has also been scant to dedicate a lot of work on this front. Maybe I will have some time over the holidays. I have also been debating shelving it for a year or so, as the pandemic hasn't gone away and no one seems to have the appetite for the story right now. I do have a space pirate novel plotted and about 15-20% written, so I may just work on that for a while.
