Turning 22...

Birthday is coming up soon! My mother asked me how it feels to be turning 22. I mean, 16 is huge, 18 is wow and 21 is mind blowing (or mind altering depending on how hard you hit the bottle) but 22 is kind of just the same as everything else is. So yeah, that's about it.

I would like to get a job soon like on my 18th birthday. I wouldn't mind it being a really great job like the 18th birthday job which was working at a bookstore!

Otherwise...

It's hard to believe it's almost been an entire year since I first started writing Damage Control. I haven't had much more luck with agents on that one so once again, I'm halting the query process and am going to go back and re-write. I'm going to focus on what the agent said when she passed and re-work the entire ending of the novel to be more explosive! I'm also going to post the first chapter (or maybe two) up here so if you have some free time and want to give me any opinions, I'd appreciate it! But to be honest, I'm starting to slowly (and painfully) come to the realization that DC just might be another novel that has to be placed underneath the bed.

Though it's tough, I'm going to start looking at the possiblity that it might be this new novel that I'll have to put all my hope into which is rough for several reasons. One is that I'm not ready to say goodbye to the last and two is that I'm going to have to wait at least 6 months before I can start querying again. *Sigh* Good thing I love what I do.

I saw a movie trailer for The Time Travelers Wife yesterday and it looks AMAZING! Can't wait for it to come out in August. Also, tomorrow The Material are releasing a few new songs which I'm going to be waking up early to download.

Hope everyone is doing well.

First of all, Happy Birthday :)

And persevere, I know that at times it seems like goals are far off, but I've been there and I'm happy I never gave up :nod:

Happy Birthday! :hug:

As said before, perseverance is key :) All you can do is keep going, and every time you take a step back from your current work you are taking a step towards a new, bright horizon :) The crucial thing is that you finally got feedback from the pro which is invaluable. Rochelle and I finally had some useful feedback as the Art Director of Blitz Games actually came to see our work at the exhibition opening night. His feedback was awesome and it's really helped get me focussed. Obviously I was secretly hoping that he may go "wow come work for us", but that never happens on first impressions so just keep going and put your passion to work :)

Congrats on the Art Director coming! That's huge!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. It isn't for a few more days but I don't think we are going to be doing too much.
