Tossing My Summer in a Bucket

Summer officially hit the U.S. on the 21st. Technically, I'm two weeks late, but I've created a twenty-five item Summer 2015 Bucket List.  CLICK HERE to check it out!

By some people's standards, the items might not be the most exciting.

But for me?

Trying a new restaurant, getting a pedicure, trying a new recipe? The epitome of adventure. For me, at least. As a person, I have a difficult time with anything "new." But this summer is a summer of determined excitement. Thus, new things are a necessity!

Check back on the page every once in awhile. As I accomplish each task, I'll stick a picture up there as proof. Not that you guys take me for a liar or anything.

Now I  encourage you, readers, to make your own bucket lists. Add some unknown into your sunny days.

Vlog #12: Query Letter Reactions

Drowning My Sorrows

In all three of the books I've queried...

I've never failed this bad. Only one request so far (a partial at that). And fourteen rejections.

Guuuyssss.

This is like my darkest hour. My sadness is demanding boxes (yes, BOXES) of chocolate, a bubble bath, and a really good book.

Instead I'm drowning my sorrows--literally. On Monday I restarted (yes, I've done it before) this kick where you drink the recommended amount of water for your body. 80 ounces, people. I've become very good friends with the bathroom at work. Considering my bathroom phobia, this is a big accomplishment.

Enough peppy humor. I really am concerned. I thought my query letter was perfect. At least, that's what everyone told me. My nearest-and-dearest and strangers around the world can't be liars.

(ARE YOU?!?!?)

By my highly mathematical equations, all these rejections mean one thing: fate owes me, and I'll have a request sitting in my inbox soon.

That logic works, right?
