A shot in the dark
No time for a real blog post tonight and, thanks to a lacrosse game and a stint in the snack bar, tomorrow's not lookin' real good either. I did take the 30 seconds needed to make my daily entry in the HGTV Green Home giveaway, however. It's really quite lovely and I've never been to Cape Cod. It has some wonderful spots to curl up and write. So which is the bigger longshot - winning a house or finding an agent or editor who'd like to publish one of my stories? I'm thinking that Vinnie the Bookie doesn't like the the odds in either case. But it's like Wayne Gretzky said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Some shots are a little wild, but every once in a while you get lucky!

Alison,
ReplyDeleteYou must have more confidence. I feel like good things are going to happen at the conference so think positive. (a little prayer to St. Anthony asking for help FINDING an agent wouldn't hurt either)
I want that house too!
ReplyDelete@ Cari - you're right about the confidence. I can't get past how random I think this industry is, but maybe I'll be singing a different tune on Sunday.
ReplyDelete@ Megan - If either of us wins the house we'll have to host a writing weekend for Lula's Bunch.
