I have been writing for young adults for the past two years, even sold my house to feed my addiction. I've got close to being published twice. And one of the things I'm most proud of is the letter from Maggie Noach (David Almond's agent) to say she liked my work and would like to see more. Maggie Noach died two months before my novel was ready to send to her.<BR/><BR/>This week, after a couple of months of soul searching following a pretty big rejection, I decided to put the writing aside. The money from the house is gone. I need to grow up and get a proper job. Then yesterday, I heard a certain song again. It was to be the title to my next book. And then today, I found your blog in a very roundabout way. I will find time to write. If nothing more, I need to come up with some pretty good fiction for my CV.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564661873760223282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158879029745095484.post-64090426982461982422008-08-02T03:47:00.000-07:002008-08-02T03:47:00.000-07:00poopywooflyjfvbhdgfcgffat man's cakepoopywooflyjfvbhdgfcgf<BR/>fat man's cakeCameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165128698382189396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158879029745095484.post-15318619957579754532008-07-31T10:26:00.000-07:002008-07-31T10:26:00.000-07:00I just found your blog, it'd awesome!
