*Sing Song* On the Keyboard Again...

Tomorrow marks an incredibly rare weekday in which I have don't have school nor work.  Such an event calls for a celebration right?! Kinda...

Said Manuscript

Most college kids would probably sleep in (and in all fairness I'll probably do a good amount of that) and/or partying.  The latter I will have no part in.

Instead, I will be dragging out my old manuscript again in an attempt to find a publisher.  It's been done for a little over a year now and despite my fears of letting it go I've realized that it's either now or never.

My problem has been that catch-22 of editing. Don't get me wrong, editing is incredibly important... monumental some would say.... and I'll probably give it one last once over for grammatical errors.  But, I keep going over the 200-some page manuscript changing minuscule details that end up causing huge re-writes later on in the book. But no more!!

Therefore, tomorrow, in between loads of laundry and dishes I will be scouring the internets for publishers that look like they might take a gander at what I've got.  Unfortunately the ratio for hearing back at all is something like 12:1.  Yeah.. if you want to be depressed try selling a novel.  So that means I'll be sending out tons of letters in the hopes of hearing back from maybe one or two people.

Wish me luck!
