I've got lots of questions swirling in my head right now. What is the meaning of life? Why do I procrastinate? When can I retire? Why is the sky blue? And finally, what should I do with my book?
It has been with a publisher since the last of November while I patiently waited for a reply as per their guidelines. (I think I've mentioned I hate publisher guidelines). I sent a follow up e-mail again per their instructions last week. Haven't heard a word. So, what do I do? Should I re-submit to another publisher? Should I query another agent? Should I publish on Kindle? Or should I just give up on it?
The Kindle option is tempting but seems to involve quite the learning curve. Not sure I have the time or patience. Plus what about cover art? Pay someone or muddle through that on my own?
I don't want to give up on it either. I think it's a story that needs to be told.

FRIDAY STIR FRY - What to do?

FRIDAY STIR FRY - Random Thoughts
Well, believe it or not, I'm way behind on NaNo as you can see from my miserable word counter. Oh well.
Received another rejection this week for BTH. Up to ten now, I think. I've lost count and interest. I'm really tired of the whole process. Sending the query or whatever the heck they want and then waiting, waiting and waiting. Only to get turned down. Considering putting it on Kindle. If I could only have a week off work so I could do a cover and format it and all that good stuff. I don't think two days on the weekend will be enough. Plus I don't have a clue how to do a cover. There are peeps who have offered to help. We'll see.
Work is kicking my butt (which is my excuse for my pitiful word count). A person in our department is leaving and the three of us that are left are trying to divide her work up between us. My old brain is having to learn new stuff. But, MAYBE, if they don't need to hire somebody, we can get a raise when she leaves. Not sure I'm going to survive to see that.
On a brighter note, I'm loving my new car. Need to take a road trip soon.
Which brings me to my question of the week. Where do you like to go on a one day road trip?
