So, I’ve finally committed. I’m going to get this goddamn novel published. I set it on the back burner, tidied it up, sent it off to a beta reader, tidied it up some more, and now it is officially ready to get out there and meet some agents.
I’ve already sent it out to the first fifteen agents and already had one person ask to read it. Of course, that person just told me it wasn’t a good fit, but it was a still a read! I’ve gotten two more rejections since then, but each rejection is a step closer to getting it accepted.
I mean, I think the statistic is out of every 100 rejections there is a novel accepted.
Alright. 3 down, 97 to go.
