So true, all of it. <br /><br />How about:<br /><br />Ups: Attending fantastic online conferences (WriteOnCon!!!) and meeting up with wonderful people who give you such great feedback on your stories/queries :)<br /><br />Limbo: Stalking - I mean following - lots of agents' blogs in search of that elusive edge...<br /><br />Down: Calling a form rejection a "decline" in your head to soften the blow :(<br /><br />And of course (down): Getting all excited about your latest manuscript and sending it out to agents to a resounding chorus of...silence (*crickets chirp*)<br /><br />Then (up): Revising and sending that same manuscript out again to other agents...more excitement!!!<br /><br />Ah, the life of a writer. Wouldn't live without it... :)<br /><br />RachRachael Harriehttp://rachaelharriechildrensbookauth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297558690242824384.post-41010130826800326612010-08-06T16:37:00.052-04:002010-08-06T16:37:00.052-04:00This is one of the best analogies to writing I'...This is one of the best analogies to writing I've heard in a while!
