One Man's Treasure.

Hey Blogbabes! Guess who’s back after a (really really really long) hiatus! Sorry—fourth year Medicine happened and I hadn’t found the time to scratch my head, let alone go fix my phone and access the world wide web.

Anyway, let’s skip the small talk.

I’M REWRITING HARPER.

After only a hundred rejections from literary agents—I don’t even consider them rejections anymore, just delivery forms—I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe it’s not just the struggle all writers encounter when starting out, maybe it’s my writing. Or my query. Or the beginning of my story—which according to almost all websites is the most important aspect of the story.

So I’ve been mulling over some starting lines to great novels. I had that accustomed “Shit, after reading all these masterpieces I’m never writing again.” Freakout so you can understand why it took me a while to post about it.

I’m going to “spice up” Harper if that sounds right which it doesn’t but oh well.

Also, I’m changing the ending.

LOL, and the middle.

So yeah basically I’m throwing away almost two years of hard work and research because I realized that one man’s treasure (my novel to me) is another man’s trash (my novel to them).
