Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

This Just In!

I just retrieved the mail today. It's after 4:00 central standard time. Long ago (three weeks) I decided to cease and desist with bringing the mail in before 4:00, as it has become an obsession, much like the agent email. How long, I ask you will this torture go on and when will my life return to normal?!?!???

Anyhow, my new mail phobia has been momentarily delayed as Agent X responded. So, yes, I received mail, addressed to me in my own handwriting...the tell-tell that signals a plethora of emotions: fear, elation, trepidation, impatience, etc. also known as the SASE or Self Addressed Stamped Enevlope.

But I have learned my lesson from Agent Z and I PROMISE THAT I WILL NOT get my hopes up. I will merely comply with Agent X's request for information (my entire manuscript...not just a partial). Please read this as just further explanation and not the other, dreaded e: enthusiasm.

Anyhow, regardless, this is a mere update on my status:

Her Essence: Well, you just read it! Please read that exclamation as such and not as exuberant enthusiasm, which I do not have. The three of you...get to work with your positive thoughts right now!!!

Taming Roland: Did a lot of editing (I know for some writers, it is unheard of to edit an unfinished novel, but it works for me). PP. 58, 15, 891 words

About Bryant: PP 44, 11, 253 words.

Platform: Wrote an article that I plan to query.

And that's it. Wish me well in this awesome journey. Be a part of it, and thus join in. You are reading this for a reason!

Best,
Andrea
