If we're smart we learn a few lessons on our journeys and the next journey out we avoid the pitfalls.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing.<br /><br />P.S.

Your story sounds lovely.
I started my ...Helen,<br /><br />Your story sounds lovely. <br /><br />I started my route to publication at the instigation of my hubby. He believed writing was more productive than reading. lol<br /><br />It took me a year to finish my first book, which was supposed to be a simple Silhouette romance. lol<br />Two hundred+ pages too long and way too many characters in it. I spent years revising that one story before I finally moved on. <br /><br />Five finished books and a bunch of uncompleted stories later, I finally published my first book. It took a tad over 20 years to get to that point. <br /><br />I submitted, pitched, entered contests and sent thank you's to no avail. I finally met some ladies who wanted to help writers get published and they mentored me. Through their guidance I learned so much and am still doing so. <br /><br />It's a tough road to travel and better writers than me have quit.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-62765036736097295252010-08-16T09:29:18.268-04:002010-08-16T09:29:18.268-04:00Well, I'll start with sharing a bit of my rout...Well, I'll start with sharing a bit of my route to publication. As soon as I finished my first manuscript, I began submitting like mad, to editors, agents and as many contests as I could afford. At first, only the contests panned out. I started garnering some wins and finals. That pricked up an agent's ears and she started broadcasting my manuscripts like they were wheat seeds. After MAIDENSONG languished on an editor's desk <i>for over a year</i>, it was picked up by Leah Hultenschmidt at Dorchester.<br /><br />Clearly writers have no need to pray for patience. We receive ample opportunity to develop it. <br />;-)EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.com
