At first I wanted to write just for me and not worry about the industry at all, but seeing all these agent and book deal announcements makes me think "I have to write the awesomest novel ever right now and then get it published ASAP!" This is a great reminder to take it slow and just enjoy the process. :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524291742541007382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-47154601329065233202011-08-10T20:47:25.527-07:002011-08-10T20:47:25.527-07:00You can haz award!!

I'm okay with that, why, because I have two young boys a husband a dog and a job, and I want to enjoy them all, plus writing.

Then I joined a few writing groups who pushed me to query, and when I got close, real close to publication, only to have it all come tumbling down, they pushed me to query again. I want to be published, somehow, but I want to love writing again. <br /><br />Great post.Angela Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488555961691093024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134980047130728930.post-49315094046764386952011-08-07T20:12:45.675-07:002011-08-07T20:12:45.675-07:00Great post!
