Congratulations on the 5-year anniversary! The need to finish fuels my fire. I don't like leaving something half-done. It doesn't mean I don't have moments of doubt or frustration, but I'm not giving up. denise

In reply to DLWillette. The query process (like everything else in this business) is unpredictable. For some it happens right away, for others (raising hand) it can take a long time. Learn from each step and don't loose sight of your end goal!!

In reply to Julie Glover. I agree, Julie, writing communities are amazing. Whether people choose to join a professional association or bond through online groups such as Facebook or WITS!!!!!! or connect with another author or two at a local coffee shop, having someone who understands what you're going through is essential.

I remember the shock of the announcement at RWA Anaheim in 2012. After helping Laura bring ribbon-tied books, cards, and decorations for the day-long event before the start of the conference, I felt for all of you at the announcement of the change in the RITA categories. But you made it turn out right--better! Happy birthday, WFWA!

Orly, of the writing groups I belong to, WFWA is probably the most helpful and supportive. Although I didn't have any success with agent interest during the recent WFWA pitch party, I certainly learned a lot and got a pitmad "like" yesterday from an agent I've had my eye on. I could have been disappointed enough to give up after the first pitch event, but between invaluable WFWA workshops, posted advice articles, and members who are nothing but encouraging, I'm motivated to keep querying and writing. I know one pitmad like is a baby step, but I'm thrilled to have a professional notice my pitch. Thanks WFWA!
