Hello! I've decided to pour out all the slush from my mind on what's been going on recently. Firstly, I've been very worn out from the querying process of my book. I finished a query letter that I'm proud of and sent it out to various agents. The problem is, I can't find any more agents to send it to that are interested in the genre, or accept unsolicited queries or email. I've gotten 9 rejections in the past week (and counting 
) and it's really gotten my spirits low. I know that I will receive a lot more rejections and that my chances of acceptance are as slim as a sheet of paper, but damn, has it really gotten me down! I've been starting to question myself and my writing. "Am I really as good a writer as I make myself out to be? Do I stand a chance in the world of books?" I feel miserable, but I know that I just have to keep trying and not give up! No matter how painful this process is (I really feel like I've been stabbed in the heart a few times ) and how long.
I'm also a bit confused on the genre of my book/series "Sweet Cravings." I think that I've just missed out on the huge paranormal phase and am left to wander in the dust of it. I thought that my novel could be Young Adult, but my main character is 27. I think it's paranormal romance, but there's no sex in it. Could it be chick-lit? I'm scratching my head with confusion. I just keep doubting myself...
I really wanna start the second book, but I've been so down I feel as if I don't have any effort left. I also have another idea for a completely different book I think would be interesting, but I just can't seem to get myself to write.
Thanks so much for reading this! I really needed to vent, LOL! ^^
