The Search Goes Ever On

Sun Jun 22, 2008, 7:08 PM
Hey Devs,

SirFrodo here again. Well as stated in my previous entry, the manuscript for my novel was rejected by an agency what I really thought I had in the bag. But I don't give up easily...well sometimes I do, when I'm creatively frustrated, but for writing and getting my novel on track, my search never stops.

Although I have been rejected by 18 agencies so far, there are always more who are willing to represent. I was recently told by a friend that she was rejected close to 30 times before getting an agent to represent her.

Hopefully it doesn't take me that long *knocks on wood*, but then again, maybe it should. Each rejection makes me write more and ultimately gives me a greater incentive to want to better it. I look for minute details that don' make sense or simply try to add filler material.

I shall keep in touch.

Always,

SirFrodo

Glad your diggin' the paint! So why aren't there pics up of your ink yet!?

Btw, I found an awesome tutorial for digital coloring. [link] I've never seen this technique before but it looks quick and effective.
