Blood, sweat and tears

Many of you know that I’ve been waiting to hear from a couple of agents and a publishing house. No there hasn’t been any word yet! However, it makes me wonder, is there some special secret or formula to getting an agent and ultimately being published? Many say no, just hard work and persistence. Well, I’m both and still nothing.

We as writer pore our blood, sweat and tears into our work but sometimes it doesn’t seem to be enough. I think that it’s hard to stay positive all the time. Especially when you feel it in your heart that you have a really good product and that it would sell. The worst part is waiting a long time to hear the long awaited words, ‘I would like to offer representation.’
