Wish me luck -- I'm doing #PitMad today.
So #PitMad is going on right under your noses on Twitter and you won't know it unless you've discovered Writers' Twitter. (#writingcommunity, #writerscafe)
I haven't had much luck with #PitMad -- in other words not a single nibble from an agent. I still try because there's always serendipity. There's always the possibility of someone to see my pitch in a different way than they have before. There's always the possibility that my topics have come into vogue when I wasn't looking. There's always a possibility that I haven't seen yet.
I feel more comfortable with failure this time than I have other times. I know about the disarray that the traditional publishing industry currently suffers from, and I have given up on a Big 5 (oops, Big 4 with the latest merger) publisher in my life. I've self-published, which has stilled the clamorous yearning to be published.
I want to see what becomes of my work rather than search the earth for validation. It's a good feeling
