My new schedule gives me very little sleep. I get up at about seven, eat breakfast, do Bible study, write for an hour. Following I do school till lunch. From lunch I do school usually till I have to work. After work (about ten at night) I write on my book till midnight.
Wew! I think I'm starting to burn out a bit. Today I walked all the way into work and disovered I was an hour early! It was kind of nice to have nothing to do for a bit, even if the wasted time drove me crazy.
I recieved my first rejection letter the other day. It came from Benthany House, by Luke Hinrichs.
It said;
Hello Jamin,
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to read your synopsis and sample chapters for The King of the Reid. We appreciate your considering Bethany House in your search for a publisher. The editors here were impressed by your creativity as a writer, as well as your passion for this project.
However, I’m sorry to tell you that we must pass on The King of the Reid at this time. I wish I had the time to offer you specific feedback, yet the current stack on my desk prevents this. But I encourage you to continue to fine-tune your manuscript. Perhaps another publisher is better able to take on your project.
God’s best to you as you search for a publishing home.
Thanks again,
Luke Hinrichs,
Editor / Bethany House
It's a start! I still have to write another hour or so. I'll see if I can do some push-ups and sit-ups first.
