RIP WIP

It's official. 

My book No System At All is dead.

It's not a teary goodbye. 

It's not a soul crushing burial. I saw the warning signing, and I knew the end was near.

I did 16 drafts, I made it the very best it could be. 

I sent out queries and I beat the average when it comes to agents requests.

I don't look at as a failure.  I look at it as, this just wasn't the book.

Here's the thing, I LEARNED  A LOT!

Looking back I know exactly where the flaws were.  More so, I know it shouldn't take me 16 drafts to write another book.

So it's time to move on to the next book.

And then the one after that.

Interestingly with the death of my manuscript something has happened.

I have a lot of free time.

I'm not cyber stalking agents.

I'm not checking query tracker.

I'm not even researching new agents.

And suddenly I have all this FREE TIME.

I know it's weird right?

So what am I going to do with this free time?

Get back to blogging for a little while.

Read more

Write WAY MORE.

Revise.

Cool huh?  It's like a hugely stressful weight has been lifted.

And you know what? I can't WAIT to start querying my next book. 

Oh the life of an unpublished author... NO PRESSURE.

It's pretty sweet huh.
