You can't control if an agent wants your ms, but you can control the work you put into the process - writing the query, researching agents, etc. Sounds to me like you've already done this, and that's something to be proud of. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-86260527901243263432019-10-08T10:15:49.239-04:002019-10-08T10:15:49.239-04:00Hi Madeline!
What an uplifting post you cranked ...Hi Madeline! <br /><br />What an uplifting post you cranked out for the IWSG blog hop this month! Hurrah for your wins and congratulations. Your positivism has me realize that we can define our own wins and they don't always have to be big. The biggest win I'm aiming for is snatching an agent - lots of work, lots of time, lots of determination, but unfortunately, no success. So, instead of being bummed about it, I should focus on a smaller win. These days, that's having time again to focus on my writing. It all starts with that. Thank you for co-hosting and keep winning! :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-2416974429648226302019-10-07T13:44:59.547-04:002019-10-07T13:44:59.547-04:00Part of the reason I didn't share the wins her...Part of the reason I didn't share the wins here was because I wanted this post to be more about the work and the wins in general.
