I believe agents and editors are looking for something unique. Because the publishing business is so subjective, a book can only sparkle when it is the product of honesty. :DKatherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-16320346106658364962010-12-30T08:01:49.394-06:002010-12-30T08:01:49.394-06:00Great post, Kathy!

It's the writer allowing herself to let go and write freely from that well in her soul. Or his.

We have to let our little ones fly, sometimes before we're ready to let go. ;)<br /><br />Get that synopsis and query letter ready so we can all cheer you on when you get The Call!!<br /><br />I echo your sentiments about 2010 being a lost year. In my mind, I imagine the Lost Boys have swooped in and stolen opportunities from me because of these headaches. But I've got meds now.
