Eat, drink, sleep ... queries!

Agh! It seems that all I'm doing lately, when there is any type of downtime, is either researching agents or querying agents.

If I take a break and, say, watch something on foodnetwork.com, I feel like I should be querying.

If I'm querying, I feel like I should be doing laundry/cleaning something.

The only thing I don't feel guilty for doing instead of querying is hanging out with my kiddos.

But as soon as they're in bed or occupied by something else: laptop and query sites.

Sigh.

But I'm not ready to give up yet. I really don't want to think about there being a day when I give up. Though I do understand it's a real possibility.

And if that happens, it'll be time to work on my next manuscript ... I'm thinking about stepping into the YA genre. I have a super basic outline ready, but knowing the time and effort that has gone into my current novel, sometimes my stomach ties in knots thinking about what's ahead of me with a new one. The one thing going for me is that I've learned SO much during the last few years, and hopefully that will make the next project a bit easier.

Onward ...
