I just told my husband the other day that I've decided the more times I get rejected, the better story I'll have to tell when I'm a best-seller. :)<br /><br /> In the meantime, I'm still polishing Against the Falling Moons based on some awesome feedback from a new beta-reader. I'm also gearing up for a new project--which is always exciting. Especially since I'm doing something totally new this book and writing with my son. He's really talented and our styles are similar so they'll mesh really well but--at the same time--his sixteen year old brain goes places mine would never think of so I can't wait to see what the merger of the two of us will bring. Thanks for the pep-talk though! Always appreciated. Hopefully I have some good luck next week with the small presses. :)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070551912944266954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-6602629290414642082012-09-28T15:32:24.512-07:002012-09-28T15:32:24.512-07:00Happy reading!!

Idk?<br />But I would think if they did look at them all they would have asked to see at least a partial if interested. Remember, sweetie, that's only 12 agents out of hundreds in the world. I've come to understand if an agent doesn't request your manuscript it may just be because they don't represent that type of manuscript, and not just genre, but also because maybe they already have something similar they are trying to sell. <br /><br />Keep your chin up:)Ink in the Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117718811407968345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-20004936773906823782012-09-28T09:01:43.476-07:002012-09-28T09:01:43.476-07:00WOW.

I'm really enjoying The Perks of Being a Wallflower so far. :) And I LOVED Shatter Me. I'm excited for the novella from Warner's POV. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the congrats. Next week is the last one. I'd have to beat three other people to win the whole thing, but their scenes are all amazing, so it's gonna be tough!!

I did make it into the small press pitch, so I'm excited about that. <br /><br />I'm curious though--about the agent contest. There's twelve agents looking at the pitches. Does that mean that I shouldn't query any of them when this is over? I mean, I guess I should just assume that they've seen my pitch and they aren't interested, right?Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070551912944266954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-55493159153869675822012-09-28T08:25:23.683-07:002012-09-28T08:25:23.683-07:00A huge big congrats for the Kiss Off finals!!

Maybe I'll add some of your picks to my pile, too. I can say The Perks of being a Wallflower, Beautiful Chaos and Shatter me (see, sort of) are all awesome books. The unbecoming of Mara Dyer has been in my to-watch list for a while now. I'll probably tap that after I'm done with the ones I've got now. <br />And Congrats on the Kiss-off, by the way :)Johana Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06145595302533357260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-39435689413617722352012-09-27T12:28:46.669-07:002012-09-27T12:28:46.669-07:00Ok, I'm going to preface this with all the ent...Ok, I'm going to preface this with all the entries were good. So even if I didn't vote for you, I really did think they all were worthy. I voted for #4.<br /><br />Yeah, my friend Krystal gave me the book tell me it was amazing and yeah...it was just ok. I don't know, the story kind of didn't seem to go anywhere. I'm interested in the 2nd book, but not enough to have even checked up to see when it was coming out.Sushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552908436147965630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-35276808534561191512012-09-27T12:27:38.197-07:002012-09-27T12:27:38.197-07:00haha...you're right. I should do that! I'm...haha...you're right. I should do that! I'm out but I'll take a pic of my new jewelry later :)<br /><br />I have a list on my laptop of how many books I've read since January and, reading through it, I was surprised at how long its gotten. Like 64 books. I didn't realize it was so many. But there's still SO many books people talk about that I've never gotten to. I think I'm the only person who loves YA who has never read a single book by Richelle Mead. I also don't like a lot of the more popular series. Hush Hush. The Immortals. The Fallen series. The Iron Fae series--None of them did anything for me. Truthfully, I only read the first book of each series, so--in all fairness--they may have gotten better. Have you read any of them? What kind of stuff do you like?

I still can't tell you if its me cause the contest has one more week, but I shall know. haha. <br /><br />I'm glad to find another person who wasn't blown away by The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I heard people rave about that book, but when I was done I was just like..yeah, that was decent. The next one won't be out for a month yet, but I'll be keeping you guys posted. :)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070551912944266954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-46889681810894350372012-09-27T12:17:13.013-07:002012-09-27T12:17:13.013-07:00Thanks, Richard!Thanks, Richard!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070551912944266954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572019667107395682.post-58664497364974368812012-09-27T12:17:01.051-07:002012-09-27T12:17:01.051-07:00Yeah, I was really surprised, but I started my blo...Yeah, I was really surprised, but I started my blog right at the start of GUTGAA, and that REALLY helped.
