Very true.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

I have a query letter almost ready for that first query.
Meanwhile, I finished my outline and started writing chapter 1 of 'Cog'.
It starts with: "Is your name really Cog?". 'Course it might get axed in rewrite.
Somehow having a second novel started is making me feel less anxious about the first one striking out, which is pretty much what I'm expecting.

I'm a 1,000 words into the new novel. I need to get off my ass and get those first query letters out, though.

Because books.
You can do it, Gud. Start with one or two and go from there.

I working toward the first one. I've redone the letter a couple of times.
I've discovered Dropbox, well I've known about it for a long time but I finally made an account to sync my password keychain, and now I wonder why the hell I never used this before. I install it on multiple computers and use the folder to store my projects and bam, instant syncing and online backup. It's brilliant.

www.dropbox.com
You get 2GB of storage for free and the software creates a folder on your computer you use like any other folder on your computer only it instantly syncs to dropbox's servers. If you install it on a second computer then that folder syncs instantly to the server and thus, your two computers are now synced together. Totally transparent.
Working with .doc files, that meager free 2GB is a ton of space.

I'm looking for a couple of readers interested in reading a mid-length short story or two. Genre is speculative fiction to scifi-ish. Profile addy should be good.

I'll do it, but I won't be able to get to it before the weekend. You can use my profile e-mail.
