Anything Goes Thursday: 1/100

Alright, readers, I have a confession to make.

For those of you who have been following this blog from it’s humble beginnings (it’s been about a year now I think) you know that I write.  But I haven’t mentioned that on the blog recently.  Mainly because I haven’t mentioned it to myself recently…

I have two finished, beta-read, edited manuscripts sitting in my desk and on my hard drive. And yet I haven’t done  anything with them.

Why? I don’t know.  Mainly just fear. not of rejection (I’ve submitted enough short stories to be used to that) but of something else I can’t exactly name.  But I’ve finally decided I’m moving past that and trying this out anyway.

My goal is to submit each book to 100 agents/indie-publishers which, at a rate of 1 per week (per book) will take about 2 years

to finish.  And I plan on sharing each step of the way with you.  The places I’ve submitted and the feedback (good or bad) I get along the way.

While it may turn out I make it to the end of my list and no agent signs me or no publisher accepts me, but at least I’ll get a little feedback along the way.  I’ll know if it’s worth going to another 200 or if I need to take some time to rework what I have and then try again.

You know I love adventures, and here’s the next one

Any of my indie-author/writer friends out there feel free to join in my 100 challenge (whether it’s submit your manuscript to 100 places or submit 100 stories/poems, whatever) or leave any tips you can think of in the comments section!

Wish me luck, friends
