I was trying to force BTB so much that it was driving me crazy and yesterday, I finally decided it wasn't worth it. I've never pitched TFC to Robert Brown and he will take every genre at a conference, so this will be the only time I can pitch it to him since he is not taking YA right now. I can always query him later with BTB, and who knows, maybe if I mention it to him he'll invite me to send it when I'm done (but I might just be dreaming of that happening hahaha).Kait Ballengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231388956866982195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159155680520079898.post-4209834139348209182010-07-19T17:58:59.255-04:002010-07-19T17:58:59.255-04:00Wow, you are so Smart!

A very good friend of mine was having trouble recently, due to her over achieving writing skills, and I think your advice will help her!

I'd been guilting myself pretty badly this past week for not being able to sit down and write. But then a very dear friend of mine (winks) reminded me that I wasn't in any hurry, and that the words will come when I'm not so busy with the every day life stuff I've been dealing with.
