Adventures in Twinsitting

Recently, I got to do a fun project at work. It was my first foray into screenwriting. Here it is, Adventures in Twinsitting!

Biting the Bullet: Manuscript Submission

Over the past few months, I've written a book. Actually, several. The first book is a kids sci-fi novel, the first in a trilogy. I've already written the 2nd and 3rd books and have begun planning a fourth. At the same time, I've also written another, totally unrelated novel and am starting on the sequel to it.

I've been revising and re-revising this first manuscript for weeks. This is a good thing because I want to make sure that whatever I send out is the best that it can be. But I've also been afraid of the eventual next step: Submitting to an agent. Today I bit the bullet.

I submitted portions of my manuscript (depending on their guidelines) to 4 agents in hopes that one of them will like what they see. Odds are, they won't. But that's not important. What matters is that I took this step.

I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist; a realist. So in reality, I know the chances of being picked up by an agent are slim. BUT, I still want people to read this (and the following books).

Fingers Crossed!!
