It's been almost a week since my last blog and it's been a crazy one. If someone would have told me that writing a book and trying to get it published would be such a roller coaster ride I would probably re-think this whole thing....LOL! Actually I'm lying, I wouldn't, because I love writing and I consider all the torture I am going through to be an experience that I will never forget. It also will be a rewarding one for that matter.
So this week, I've been trying to get out more applications for a literary agent and the process is demanding because every agency has their own list of pre-requisites. In my way, I consider this to be my own little version of American Idol....yes...I know it sounds crazy but I am auditioning aren't I? LOL! It's a bit demanding but nothing good in life ever came easy, that I know for sure.
On another note, the Oscars were this Sunday and I have to tell you the truth, watching all those acceptance speeches made my journey to be a novelist more of a reality than just a dream. I hope that with the publication of my first novel, that I could venture out and do screenplays which would also allow me to branch out in different areas of writing. All these creative thoughts are flowing through me and I have all of them stashed for that day when I weave it all together. I want to be up there one day holding up Mr. Golden Boy and thanking my peers and everyone who helped me get to that point. It would be the ultimate acknowledgement of all my hard work.
Two speeches from that night touched my heart and I'd like to share them with you....the first being Mo'Nique's acceptance speech for her performance in Precious and then Sandra Bullock's for her performance in 'The Blind Side."
With that I leave you for tonight and I promise pretty soon for another peek into "Scars."
