I woke up at 4:40 a.m. and was at the gym by 5:05. I played raquetball with Dorian, Steve B., Glenn, Tiger, Jim and Jamiel until 7. From 8-8:30 I ate breakfast and cleaned up from the Sandy Celebration yesterday afternoon. My energy was back.
I worked on chapter 2 of Introducing Girls. I'm not quite finished with the draft, but plan to send it to Chris for tomorrow night.
I'm preparing a new query for Martin Martinez and putting together a new query list for agents. My agent Sam has made it clear that he is no longer working for me. I wish him all the best and am happy for his success with some of his bestselling authors. I can see it's going to take all my resilience and confidence to get any novel sold in this lifetime. I'm embarrassed that nothing has happened yet. I know I shouldn't be, but it's hard not to feel like a failure. Martin Martinez is an interesting book and has every chance of finding a home as Julia Milan had. Perhaps with the right agent, all the pieces will be in place toward finding a great editor to take my stories to the next level.
I dread the entire query process, but will try and make it as enjoyable and painless as possible.
Sandy is still in my thoughts...I miss that little dog so much today.
