But maybe this helped someone. A lot of y'all already know this stuff, but at one time, I sure didn’t. Writing can be lonely sometimes--especially when you get a rejection or, even worse, silence.

If I don't get an agent, you know what I'm gong to do? Keep writing. Because that's what writers do.

At heart I'm an introvert and saying all this made me feel like I just did a lap around my block naked. I'd much rather write than query or market or post on social media.

My book is a post-apocalyptic YA thriller. It's blend genres but it's about loving your family and doing whatever you have to do to keep them safe.

I've had 3 request so far and 12 rejections. That's the best starting ratio I've had in 4 tries. Doesn't mean I'll get signed by an agent.

You might ask. Why are you trying to get an agent Jeff if you already have a publisher?

Because I want a partner in my writing life. One that "gets" my work. I really want to work with CamCat again. I hope very much I will be able too. Having an agent won't change that.
