Chasing Windmills: September 2014
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. I started querying again earlier this week. I hadn't given up after receiving so many rejections and no requests but I had stepped back for a moment. I took stock of what I had and got some great feedback on my query letter and my manuscript as a whole. I thought shining a light on it again would help me make it stronger for another round of queries. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Dir Tim Burton. Perf. Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger.

Chasing Windmills: October 2014
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Well, Nightmare on Query Street. Is over – for me at least. It was a fun few days but ultimately the judges didn’t find what they were looking for in my manuscript. I won’t lie and say there weren’t tears or there wasn’t a brief moment of “why do I bother”. I’ve been asked to not stray too far away from the twitter feed. Probably not but wasn’t it Picasso who said art is never finished but rather abandoned? I want to thank the good folks who were chatting with me last night and...

Chasing Windmills: Here Comes the Sun
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015/05/here-comes-sun.html
Monday, May 4, 2015. Here Comes the Sun. Every year I have a scary day and it came today. The day I have to take myself to the dermatologist for my annual "mole check". I know you're thinking "C'mon, Kristin, it's just a check up" but it's so much more than that for me. Much more. Until . . . Until . . . My father found a spot on his back by his shoulder. Was it something? My mom wasn't sure but suggested he get it checked out anyway. Just in case but probably nothing to worry about. On October 18, 1996 ...

Chasing Windmills: Go West?
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015/04/go-west.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. One moment you think all the little details are going to fall into place and you're all set. And then boom - not so much. That's the place I found myself languishing in as I mulled over whether or not to attend the WFWA. First Annual Writers Retreat. Flea Market is always held is always held on a Sunday at the end of September but not date has been officially announced yet. If it's on Sunday, September 20 I'm good but September 27 would raise a conflict. Stephanie J. Block.

Chasing Windmills: Sea Cruise
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015/04/sea-cruise.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Well, folks, I have decided to go to the WFWA. First Annual Writer's Retreat. I've already registered and booked my room. I haven't done airfare or anything yet though - a little soon for that. I'm sure more flights and fares will open up between now and the fall. Not only have I decided to go on the retreat for this year but I'm going on The Book Splash Cruise. Just a short one for today. Hope everyone is doing well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Chasing Windmills: December 2014
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. My goodness - can the holiday season be almost over? I've also been paying some attention to Query Tracker. To work on my list. Who changed their genres, who's closed, who's branching out on their own, etc. This is something I always try to keep up on whether I'm in querying mode or not. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. This is the Moment. Album Bring Me Giants. Was the very first song to come over the speakers. And it was that moment realization came over me. This was. Is mention...

Chasing Windmills: Going Hollywood
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015/03/going-hollywood.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. Well, just today the details of the upcoming Pitch Slam. Were announced today. The theme this time around is Classic Hollywood which suits me to a T. Not only does my manuscript take place in Hollywood but I am quite the fan of classic Hollywood. None of these means much in the long run but it makes me a little more excited about this contest than others in the past. Earlier tonight I found a marathon of Battle of the Network Stars. Best of luck to everyone entering! We Will Survi...

Chasing Windmills: One Brick at a Time
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015/03/one-brick-at-time.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2015. One Brick at a Time. During the February 17 episode of # PubTalkTV. I was announced as one of the winners of the of a query consultation with one of the fabulous hosts. I was assigned to Monica Odom. Of Liza Dawson Associates. And I was very excited about the whole thing. Having another pair of eyes on your query is never a bad thing - especially if it's the eyes of an agent who represents your genre. Score! Also, speaking of critiques - all of the lovelies at Fuse Literary.

Chasing Windmills: February 2015
http://eris0303.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 13, 2015. In my last post I talked about #sunvssnow but that didn't turn out the way I thought it would. The 200 available slots filled up in six minutes. Six minutes! I simply didn't get my entry in fast enough. And, it doesn't help that we were having a storm that day and the internet was working very slowly. To watch the indicator spinning 'round and 'round for twenty minutes after I clicked "send" was quite infuriating. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.
