Weekly Update 76

And like that we are back. If you have not read my past updates: welcome! If you are a returning reader: welcome! All are welcome here.

This is the part of the internet where I keep those who are interested updated on my quest to become a traditionally published author. This means I need an agent. Unfortunately, I have not found an agent. Still I query, still I persevere.

If you want to know more about me, this is the half of the update where I mention what is happening in my personal life. Tomorrow is the start of my second-year teaching. I am excited and nervous, but nowhere near as nervous as my first year. I can’t wait to meet my kids and get to know them.

Despite my excitement, I am a little dower concerning this new milestone. I have been looking for an agent for a long time now. Longer than I expected, longer than I hoped. At this point it has been a little more than a year since I wrote my book. That is very upsetting and downright debilitating, if I can be honest with you. I am still chugging forward, but the weight is getting heavier and heavier.

I plan on writing more once school starts. I don’t want to see this part of me die or be shoved aside. One day I will look back at this period and be proud in myself for not giving up. Until then, I must continue “not giving up.”

See you next week, Mr. O is back in business.
