Springing Forth

Fri Mar 1, 2013, 8:14 AM
:shamrock: I found a four-leaf clover in my back yard, which means  it's almost spring.
Granted, where I live we barely have two seasons, summer and fall. Still, I'm feeling optimistic about the upcoming change.

:reading: On the book front, I'm about to enter the Query phase of my manuscript. (Yes, that's Query with a capital Q)

This is the nerve wrenching, anxiety inducing, heart breaking stage of trying to get published. In other words, I'm trying to find an agent who loves my story and my characters as much as I do, and who will want to guide/join me in this journey of sharing my imagination with the world. While it is heartbreaking to get a rejection, if I can find that one agent who will adore Amniese and Llyr with the same enthusiasm I have, then it will be a grand success!
So, it is with a deep breath, and fingers crossed, I send my story out into the query world.

In the end, if things really don't work out, I'll pocket Shilon and move on to the next story, which I'm currently editing.
Yes, that's right. Rejection doesn't mean it's the end. Instead it could be a new beginning. I certainly won't run out of ideas any time soon (thanks to a severely overactive imagination), and I won't give up either. I respect those agents who spend so much of their time trying to find something they fall in love with as well as their professional opinions of what works for them and the market. I will graciously accept their opinions and be thankful they took the time to give me a chance. Then, hopefully, I will find the right agent to represent me to the right publishing house.

It's all a magical formula that takes trial and error to achieve, and someday I hope to achieve it. Until  then, I'll keep trudging on. Wish me luck :fingerscrossed:

Hello! I adore your BJD Llyr; he's so handsome. My BJD got finished a couple of days ago, and his name is Llyr as well, and even somewhat look a like. My mother was looking at dolls online, and when she saw yours she instantly came to me saying Llyr had a brother :lmao: That is until we realized that yours is more of a gray-ish color? while mine is entirely blue. But anywho...all of your dolls are quite gorgeous. Have a great day. :D

Oh yes. His full name actually means Sea Water, so it is very appropriate for him. His features are mostly covered up by his mess of hair, and he isn't store bought though. He's completely hand-made from air drying clay by my mother, which makes him a lot heavier, and harder to pose in certain occassions, but he is quite stable. He does have his own Facebook page if any of your dolls would like to become friends. :giggle: This is him: [link] His face does seem round, but in reality is quite thin,and has masculine features. :heart:

Handmade? That sounds amazing! The link didn't work, but your mom must be super talented. I thought about making my own dolls, but then decided on buying the shells and customizing them into my characters. I figured doing the whole doll would be a lot of work. I am impressed to hear that your mom made yours, which makes him completely original!
