A one man rant about novel writing, publishing, and other "artistic" pursuits. Friday, July 08, 2005. I hit a milestone recently. I sent out my fiftieth query package to an agent on. It's exciting thinking how many "big time" agents have considered my writing, but it's also a bit disappointing to think that fifty agencies have considered my writing. . .and passed on it. There's something about the number fifty that means it's time to reflect, regroup, and rethink. Series) said that he always sends out th...

A one man rant about novel writing, publishing, and other "artistic" pursuits. Friday, July 15, 2005. Let's talk about the title of this little rant, shall we?

A one man rant about novel writing, publishing, and other "artistic" pursuits. Wednesday, August 10, 2005. A FEW WORDS ON. During our vacation in Big Bear I read Jeff Shelby's novel. You know the one- a detective investigates the murder of the girl he loved in high school. Sounds a lot like. I needed to read it, though, to see exactly how close it was to BMR.

I'm also planning on doing the same thing with a short short ...

Today, the last submission package returned for. I don't think there are anymore out there.
