OPTIONAL IWSG Day Question: What are your ultimate writing goals, and how have they changed over time (if at all)?
Co-Hosts: Nicki Elson, Juneta Key, Tamara Narayan, and Patricia Lynne!
My ultimate writing goals stay the same: agent + book deal + bestseller list. Ha. A girl can dream. Last month I landed in the agent round of Query Kombat. I am pleased to say my middle grade mystery got the second highest amount of requests!! Now I wait. Always waiting.
This week I am on vacation in the great cheese state of Wisconsin, visiting family and enjoying the great outdoors. Yes, you can actually step outside here and not get your face melted off. Oh, how I've missed my home state---in the summer. Not so much in the winter!
I hope everyone has lofty writing goals and great expectations! Have a fantastic rest of summer.
That's great that you got the second most requests. Fingers crossed for you. Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks! On it!
DeleteYour face would certainly melt here.
ReplyDeleteHope you get good news.
Now go enjoy some cool cheese.
Thanks! Cheese it is!
DeleteThat's so great on your middle grade mystery :) It's hot here too in Kansas City. We actually had a day in the 80's this week though but back to hot temperatures today. I bet Wisconsin is beautiful right now.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. 80 is the new 60 ;-)
DeleteWell done on Query Kombat! Enjoy that cheese :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYippee! Now that's an accomplishment. But the waiting... I hope you have a good distraction. Eat some epic cheese for me!
ReplyDeleteAlways waiting. In the meantime...vacay and cheese!
DeleteCongratulations on all those requests! Fingers crossed you don't have to wait long and when you do hear something, it will be awesome news. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice!
DeleteHopefully the waiting isn't too long. Good not to have your face melted off too.
ReplyDeleteNo more face melting! Ugh.
DeleteThat's wonderful your story has done well so far.
ReplyDeleteI visited Wisconsin once and I fell in love with The House on the Rock. I'd love to see it again.
The House on the Rock is a beast! Love the weird and wacky labyrinth of rooms.
DeleteCongrats on the requests! Hoping it works out! Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Will do.
DeleteYeah for the requests! Hope you have a great outcome in this contest.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so too.
DeleteCongratulations. Hope the wait is not too long. Happy IWSG!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGood luck on those requests... so much waiting!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Waiting should be an Olympic sport. I'd medal for sure.
DeleteHave a great vacation. I hear it's been hot. Not so much for us... yet. But it's coming soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're going to have an agent bidding war :)
Thanks!
DeleteSame pinch, my ultimate goals are the same "agent + book deal + bestseller list."
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that you get an agent soon.
Yes! We are determined, aren't we?? Thanks!!
DeleteQuery Kombat...sounds intense. Writing queries is so painful for me. It's just about as bad as coming up with a descriptive blurb. Ugh!
