Within the last few weeks I sent out a bunch of queries with my revised letter, and so far I’m getting a few nibbles, which has me feeling kinda good.

My novel hasn’t changed on bit. It’s Finders Keepers as it’s been.

But now it seems more appealing to [i]other [/i]people. And quite frankly, to myself as well. I’ve been working with Finders Keepers for so long, been so close to it, that I lost a little perspective. And now I’m re-energized, filled with more passion for it than I’ve had in quite a while. Not that I wasn’t passionate before, but I’m seeing Finders Keepers and it’s possibilities in new ways. I’m seeing in a way that I can present to others that they get. Where I’m seeing that [i]whoa!

And yet there’s work to be done. I know there are no guarantees, no automatics in publishing, so I’ll be digging in and promoting, promoting, promoting.
As always, I’ll keep you posted.
