Another poem inspired by Lucy of Blonde Write More! Thinking about the choices we make regarding publishing!
Querying
A scary thing
Putting your words
In front of them
The critical eyes
The knowing minds
The hope they like
What they read and find
The letter than
Just needs a hook
To get them excited
About your book
The endless wait
Will they even like?
Ignore you or say
Just take a hike?
Will you get the note
That says 'Sorry, no,
Not right for us
But mind how you go."
Or the one
That encourages
But still says no
Gets you in a tizz
It could be one
That says "I'm in!
Send me your novel
Let the journey begin!"
Querying
A scary thing
Putting your words
In front of them

You’ve captured the daunting element of putting your heart into writing and having someone judging it, waiting for a decision, and that hope for what could be an amazing new chapter of your life. Makes me wish I’d finally got around to writing something..!! xx

Real life experiences,Sis! 😉 Sometimes i really dont know which criterias are given for their decisions.Some weeks ago i discussed with Jane (janedougherty.wordpress.com) the evil of “Poetry Slam”, and the difference to professional made poetry. Best wishes, Michael
