Happy New Year!

11 Jan

I usually sit down at the end of every year and write up a list of resolutions. Then I start the year off with a bang and lose momentum fairly quickly. This year I tried a new approach.

This year I decided to physically clean up my world – I sorted my yarn stash (for the non-knitters, I organized the bins of To Be Knitted yarn), I cleaned up my office, I cleaned out my inbox (and only deleted a few things–that I’ve discovered so far–that I wished I hadn’t). Yay! I also revisited my novel.

I have been absent due to a malaise that overcame me in October/November. I was so excited to be querying agents for my novel (Who’s The Name of That Song?) but I was not as excited to receive the rejection letters. Yes. I know. Foolish me. And after about 80 rejections I gave up.

But then the people I’d sent copies to read started to get back to me and I became re-energized and updated my query letter (something must not have been working), bought new querying music (this week’s queries are brought to you by The Killers’ Battle Born and the Friends’ Soundtrack), and sent out a whole additional batch.

So once again, fingers crossed, somebody wants my book!

Who’s The Name of That Song?

10 Sep

Oh…I guess I should introduce everyone to my book.

Short Synopsis – WHO’S THE NAME OF THAT SONG? by Jessamyn Foster

“Good morning music fans — Nick Farber’s new song ‘One Who Got Away’ is gathering a lot of attention especially with the discovery of a quick thanks to a mysterious Emma Luna. Could this Emma Luna be the name of ‘one who got away’? We all know Nick, who rocketed into the hearts of millions of fans beginning with his first movie. He channeled his stardom into an incredible movie career and has released dozens of chart-topping songs. He is engaged to the beautiful and talented Oscar award winning actress Victoria Lazarus and their wedding, planned for December, is already on its way to becoming the Wedding of the Decade! Will this Emma Luna give Victoria a run for her money?”

“Emma Luna is nobody. She graduated from Boston Arts in the same class as Nick but their lives have taken two very different paths. Emma married her college sweetheart. She lives in a small town and works at a small town theatre. From everything we can see, Emma Luna Clark is certainly no match for Victoria Lazarus. Surely our favorite couple, Nictoria, is in no real danger here.”

Emma Clark is happy. She has a job she adores as Company Manager at A Night Theatre. She loves her friends. She, for the most part, loves her husband. She was perfectly content with her life before Nick Farber picked up her world and shook it like a snow globe with the release of his new song. To add insult to injury, his entire motivation seems to be based on something a fortune teller told Emma years ago. That she would marry her true love and live happily ever after. Nick has decided that he is her true love. Emma is skeptical, after all, Nick could have chosen Emma when they were in school together but he didn’t and she went on with her life. Now everyone is waiting to see what Emma will do. Will she jump into the unknown or will she fight to maintain the life she has built for herself?

Fingers crossed please!

 So today was the day that the first of the Query letters went out. Popping up in Agents’ inboxes all over the country is my novel. Or at least my query letter and synopsis and pages as requested.  Fingers crossed that someone likes what I’ve written enough to (at the very least) read more.

So now I wait…and draft more query letters…and start return to OUTSIDE THE TENT.
