PitMad

Such a long day at work. Can't blame this one on my website acting funky. 

So I recently sent out my third query letter. I'm getting a little less jarred by them, but of course I still haven't heard back from my first one. I suppose I should take this time to act as boldly as I can before the first rejection comes in. Yes, I'm aware I shouldn't assume I'm going to be rejected, but the numbers don't lie. The odds are against me getting an agent at all, much less on my first round.

Still, this is my dream and I'm pushing forward with it. On that note, the people in my writers' group informed me that there's a pitmad coming up on Twitter this month. Kinda like Pitch Wars back in October, this is putting out your pitch in the form of a tweet. If an agent likes your pitch, they'll like your tweet. 

This is... awkward. I mean, I had no idea things like this even existed until I was deep into being a writer. There's so much out there I never knew about. Will I participate in PitMad? Of course! If I don't, I'm definitely not getting an agent. If I do, I might! Yes, it's a long shot, but all the best things are, I think.

So, I have a new task, and that's to somehow fit everything that's awesome about The Paladin into 280 characters or less. Actually, I suppose I have to save room for the hashtags so the agents can locate my tweet so... yeah. Even less than that.

But you know what? I did Pitch Wars. I put myself out there, wrote a letter, scraped together a synopsis... if I can do that, I can certainly tweet some agents. 

Be Excellent to Each Other
