After a while of feeling deflated, I’m back! I have had a Covid vaccine related health issue, which has knocked me for six, but I also felt down after the outcomes of the @writementor announcements. I really wanted to secure some mentor-mentee time over the summer. Alas, it was not to be! I also received a number of rejections from querying.
I know to expect this in the writing world, and it is nothing new, but I still find it hard. I think when you work full time and have a family any time spent on writing is precious. Sometimes, it feels like wasted time and I wonder if I am misdirected. I suppose I would just like some confirmation from someone other than myself that i am on the right track.
I came back with a bang and entered PBCHAT mentorship in the final hour (well almost!) I really enjoyed the application process. It was quite long and I decided to do three individually tailored applications. We have a long wait for this one, June 30th. Next week, we have a pitch event with @writementor so onwards...
