update
I broke my foot on Thursday, and now I have to wait another 2 whole weeks before I can walk on it again. In my author world, the news is that I've started working on a new story. I think right now I'm sort of writing a reallyreallyreally detailed rough draft/plan type thing. It's not a really well written piece, I wouldn't expect it to get published. Thankfully, all I care about is getting it written right now. I have a lot of editing to do for it, once I finish! It's already got to a pretty good part and it's just a few thousand words long, about 14 pages.

First time I've ever really wanted a holiday to end....
What is true. this is the first time I've EVER been so anxious for Easter to end. I want to get to Monday so my queries will be looked at so I can possibly get a lit agent!

Lit Agent Update
So...I got another rejection.
Thankfully, THIS one was more helpful than the others. She told me that she liked the idea, but it didn't pull her in enough at the beginning. I think in my next queries, (I'll probably make them on Monday, after school) I'll explain more so HOW the novel starts. starting and ending novels are the hardest thing for me, figuring out how to make the VERY beginning interesting enough that the reader will read more. And then the end...I need to work on making it seem less...boring.
