Making the dolls (there are now three) and little books about their lives cheered me up. I'm through the rejection (not over but through) and have two packages sent out. And Susan, I'm not adverse to self-publishing but want to try the old fashioned way first. If I don't get satisfaction then for sure I'll self publish or try a hybrid like She Writes. In the meantime, as long as I have the query packages moving about - I'm good and when my body heals I'll get back on the writing and meditation wheel.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727266796590751202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722012954806248529.post-13907757840357363352017-04-05T10:05:54.559-03:002017-04-05T10:05:54.559-03:00p.s. your dolls are lovely :)p.s. your dolls are lovely :)Susan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722012954806248529.post-77793094739297364142017-04-05T10:05:15.989-03:002017-04-05T10:05:15.989-03:00Hi Jan, I wish I automatically received your posts...Hi Jan, I wish I automatically received your posts - I've tried before. So, I'm glad to come by today. Best of luck with the hip op, soon you'll be hopefully hip hopping. Sorry about the pain - totally enervating and along with all the other stuff, like not keeping to usual practice of meditating (me too, I'm cross with myself) and my self-discipline seems at times non-existent.<br /><br />Re: rejection - also one of the hardest in terms of your book and anything really. For this too I am sorry. It's a tough cross to bear. Would you consider self-publishing? Through eg CreateSpace. Going the self pub route does NOT have the vanity thing or failure attached to it any longer. Many very successful already published authors do this as a choice. I am not sorry that Susan Schwartz co author of recent book and I went this route. It was a well considered and conscious choice. Luckily I had the help of my son to convert to kindle and published ... it CAN be done .. and CreateSpace e.g. is good and helpful. There are other companies that convert your book for a reasonable fee. And then there is marketing .. another story. BUT word of mouth is good .. if your book is good and I'm sure it is, it deserves to be out there ...<br /><br />ALL best wishes for successful op .. use the time for R&R ...
