A Day of Rest and Relaxation - Future Ideas - Thanks to Theresa Meyers - Chuck Sambuchino

Merry Christmas!  Happy New Year!

This week is going by so fast.

I don't even know where to start.

I would like to say a special thank you to two people who have been very helpful this week.

I am excited to see many editors, publishers and literary agents following me on Twitter.

It's an honor and a privelege to be a part of their community network.

I plan to help the book selling industry with my ideas and marketing strategies that I'll be testing on

The Idea Girl Says.

Today I sent a request to two Editors asking for authors to visit the youtube videos that I posted  on ideagirlconsulting channel and for them to leave a comment with their URLS.

Theresa_Meyers a book publisher from Blue Moon Communications on Twitter sent me a Tweet advising me that this would add value to my work.

So I sent an email to Chuck Sambuchino asking for his assistance with The New Writers Handbook 2007 and 2007 Writers Market.

I haven't been able to contact the Editors, so Chuck is helping me out. :)

I hope they like my idea, it would be cool for the book videos that I made.

I am shocked, after checking out Robin Jay's media book trailers, I found out they charge $500 - $1200 to make one!

Wow!

I made mine for free, as a fan of authors. :)

Maybe I can do this as a business in the future, now that would be cool and fun.

I am still reading The New Writer's Handbook
and I am taking a look at 2007 Writers
Market - Editor Robert Lee Brewer, 
Assistant Editor Joanna Masterson.


I'm having trouble finding a pic of Joanna online, 
so I'm asking where do you go to find 
pictures of authors and literary agents?


I like to see who I am blogging about on The Idea Girl Says.


Kind of like a personal connection for the reader if they have an 
idea of who wrote what
book and what article that I am featuring on the site.

This looks lovely while I type then when I publish it's all screwy? GRRRRR....

Writer's Cramp - Submit That Manuscript to a Publisher - Stress!!!

Now I just need a boost of confidence.  I finished my manuscript for my first novel called The Munroe Mansion - The Beginning.  Now I just have to do a synopsis, a query letter and find some confidence.

I'm terrified that someone's going to tell me that I suck as a writer.  Or I'll hear that i'm not experienced enough and I need to get an education or something like that.

Imagine having writers cramp for months and months, finally typing it all up, spending hundreds of hours on a project then you come to a complete standstill because of fear?

What have I got to lose other than some pride?

I know, I'm supposed to be persistent in what I do, believe in myself, and then take that first step towards my dream of being a published writer.

I've been published on the internet for many years and it didn't cause me any undue stress.

So why am I having so much trouble with this?

A feeling of panic and dread at the outcome of all this?

I feel that I'm a great writer, I just don't know if anyone else will feel the same. :)

I have posted some info about all this on The Idea Girl Says - words of wisdom for those who are more knowledgeable about this kind of thing.
