Right now I'm trying to finish the recipe search program for poetlady.com. Not too difficult, it's just finding the time to get it done while I work on web sites and seminar videos. I have also started working on the last few chapters of my girlfriends novel. I've been trying to wrap that up for almost a year now because she has moved on to other writing projects. Curiously, we received a rejection letter from a publisher this week. The publisher was responding to a query letter that we had mailed over a year ago! Nice of them to get back to us. We sent out about six queries back then and most of them responded within two months. I am not sure I want to go that route again. The rejection letters I don't mind, it's the waiting for them to respond that I don't care for. Self publishing looks like the best option for us. Since I have a client who is doing that with his book, I will be able to see how the whole process works. Most people are lucky to break even when they self publish. That part worries me a bit. But if the story is interesting and writing is good, maybe there is still a chance that we'll get lucky ...someday.
