Weekly Update 44
Hey guys and welcome back to my website: sethoberlender.com. It is me, Seth Oberlender!
If you are new here, get ready for a weekly update wholly unique to my corner of the internet. If you are coming back, get ready for more of the same.
No agent. In fact, I got brave and checked the website I was using and all of my queries have been labeled as rejected because of the amount of time spent waiting on a reply. For those keeping track at home:
1 written book(s)
0 published book(s)
82 rejections.
I am melancholic but not surprised. I knew the road to publishing was going to be filled with moments like this, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. Which is why I won’t stop. Not yet. Tomorrow I will submit my first query in months. So wish me luck!
Me. Getting back on the horse… get it?
In my personal life, I spent a weird weekend doing weird things. I do not have depression, but I get depression (yes those are different things) and last weekend was one of those weekends. I spent a lot of it staring at mundane things and wasting time or doing things that had the potential to cheer me up. I went to Barnes and Noble, for example. I got some books for school and a book on teaching that I am a little excited to read. I also spent an unhealthy amount of time on TikTok… which might have added to prolonging my depressive state. Who knows. While the weekend didn’t go the way I thought it would I am ready to get back up and teach some kids this week. Maybe next weekend I can enjoy myself!
Ok, time to go. I have to take some time to get ready for bed and enjoy the small amount of “weekend” I have left. See you all next week!
