Step one in getting published--write a book. Check. And apparently that was the easy part.
Step two--get some feedback. This is underway. I'm striving not to ask my readers what they think every five minutes for two reasons. #1 I'm pretty sure it would be annoying. #2 They might tell me.
Step three--write a query and send it out. I've written and rewritten the query, but must wait for feedback and ensuing edits before forwarding the query on. I have an agent targeted, but from what I read may need to pick more than one. So, research!
In the meantime, just to prove that I'm not the only one who thinks I'm a writer. Here's where I've published my bits and pieces.
