Whah! What happened to February and March?
Oh wait... That's right. I've been under a rock for the past few months.

Seriously though, I am on a very active hunt for the right Literary Agent. So far I've gotten my fair share of rejections but, I am not giving up. I must say rejection in any form is not pleasant but the agents I have queried have all been extremely kind and professional. They fully understand that a writer has put a little piece of their soul into their work and it is nearly crushing to be told that their work is just not quite right... I have heard a few different things but, nothing too incredibly specific. I suppose that's better than being told to rethink my career choice, lol.

All I can say is that when I do get a literary agent it will be the RIGHT agent. I am constantly doing research into agents that I feel would be a great fit for my writing career. I can say that nearly half the agents queried have responded in some form. I did get someone interested in reading some chapters. Though it didn't pan out, it made me happy that my query letter is at least garnering interest.

I'm trying to remain terribly positive, but you know I have good and bad days.

In other news I got struck with an idea for another book... Completely different than any of the other books I have been picking at up till now. Due to the agenting stress, I decided to take a break from the Shilon books and work on this new one and I've already made quite a bit of progress and have a pretty nice plot structure down. I guess if one project doesn't work I've got a ton more to work on I won't throw in the towel just yet!!

On BJDs I have a new one I'm paying off that will be the adult version of my character Noir:
He is going to be amazing. However, I won't have him for another few months (3 probably). I will be putting the BJD collection on hold for a while in order to gather more funds to get my current family customized into their proper characters. I'll also be doing some really fun photo shoots with Amneise and Llyr. They've sort of been hired for a modeling project. I'm really excited about it and hope to pull off the ideas I have.

In the meantime I'm trying to get my act together for the upcoming convention season. I'll be at KhaoticCon and MetroCon this year. KhaoticCon is in a couple weeks and is the first time for this convention. I'm kind of excited to see how it goes, since it's a new con. I'll be bringing my charms, jewelry and Owl Plushies. I've been toying with some new items, but have been back and forth between crafts and writing. The writing is winning.

Writing for me is sort of like art, "you gotta strike when the iron's hot..." or expel the ideas from the imagination before they fade from the mind. Sometimes I'll get a scene circling in my mind so much that if I don't write it down it will just keep nagging me until I throw it onto paper. Sometimes art stuff does that too, though lately I've been slacking on uploading anything but BJDs on dA.

To those who have recently subscribed, thank you so much! I hope to bring you lots of fun art and photos that will brighten your days and maybe get your own imagination running wild.
