Fiction Friday: Writing Update
No news is good news, right? Well, that’s how I’m looking at it right now. Actually, I have had news on my WIP my agent’s been shopping around. I’ve been hearing good feedback about the writing, it even made it as far as committee at one publishing house and got a very nice rejection at another that went something like this…Gina is a good writer, and you’ve probably already sold this, but we just aqcuired a similar story from so and so. Hey, I don’t mind being compared to so and so.
But it seems since my story is not your typical romantic mystery it’s just not fitting with most publishing houses. Still, I haven’t given up hope. It’s still hanging in there at five or so and if it’s to be with this book, then it will happen. In fact, that’s what my agent keeps telling me, “Gina, it will happen. Your a fine writer.” How can I be upset over that! So though this current WIP may not make it to print (I’m hoping and praying it will because it’s a darn good story, if I do say so myself) maybe the next one will.
But bottom line for me is I can’t sell out this current story. I can’t make it into what it’s not, and I’m hoping and praying some editor, some house out there will see it for what it is and take a chance on it and me! If not, there’s always the next one, which by the way is 3000 words from being finished!
