Well.... I got my first rejection on Quest of the Chosen, book I in my Guardians of Eden Series. it stung a bit, and I had a pity-party over the weekend. and now? I'm soooo over it! That's right, time to move on and keep writing. My agent still has it out to another big house, so we're going to wait to see what they have to say before we make any changes. The editor said "I didn't connect with the characters". Now THAT was a bit of a blow. I really spent a lot of time developing them and even the secondary players. So I keep telling myself that's just one person's opinion.
And as a friend recently told me "all it takes is one yes". And that it does!
So now I'm back to whipping off some re-writes to The Pearl. and I've started plotting out and character development of yet another new story idea. That makes 2 new ideas. Which means I'm going to do a synopsis on each and see which one calls to me the most.
Since I tend to be a Seat of My Pants writer "a.k.a. a Pantser" I'm going to try my hand at this process called SnowFlake Plotting. My writing chapter had a speaker come in about this and I've done some research online and actually downloaded some very useful information that I started using last night. This is really going to challenge me, but in lieu of my current rejection.... I'm totally up for it!
Stay tuned for more info. And I'll be updating this snowflake journey.

sorry about the rejection. That does suck. However, I love your attitude and good luck with the snowflake plotting!
Love the new blog look, Barbie!
Sorry to hear about the rejection. But as they say, Every rejection is a step closer to publication.... Do you think that's an oxymoron?? LOL!
My fingers are crossed for you. Your attitude is a winning one, and with that everything will fall into place.
P.S. thanks for stopping by AS.
