Diary of being a Writer; Week 131

I am overwhelmed by how much I have to learn.

So what to do? What to do?
Obviously more editing is on the cards.
But there is also the dreaded agent search.
Did anyone do the #pitmad thing on twitter? I haven’t really looked into it and maybe I should if I haven’t got an agent the next time it happens. It seems, and again this is without having really looked into it, not my kind of thing. I shy away from activities that sound intense and manic and have the word mad in their title. These are characteristics I want in my characters, not in my quest to get an agent.
I had a scroll through some of the tweets, and it looks exactly like I thought it would, a ton of authors pitching their books and then all retweeting each other over and over. It seems like it was a positive experience for most of them, and some got agents wanting to see their full WIPS. It still makes me feel uncomfortable. I want to carefully select my agent not get caught up in the excitement of a tweetstorm. Oh well, let’s see how I feel about that in a year.

Meanwhile, I have some more Dream Author workbook exercises to catch up on.

I rearranged the living and dining area. That doesn’t count as editing.
