2010 Round Up

Hey everyone. I know I've been kind of flakey on posting regularly the last few months but hopefully I'll be back in full force in 2011. I wanted to just run through some big points of 2010 and give a little of what to expect come January (aka tomorrow).

On the book front, 2010 saw EUTERPE'S SONG going on submission to publishers. It was seen by 9 houses. It also saw me and my agent part ways. 2010 was also the year I wrote 4 novels, approimately 250,000 words total. Very impressive. In the coming year, I will be revising PHARAOH'S LINK as well as writing at least 2 other young adult novels.

I officially finished 1/2 of law school. I'm still waiting on fall semester grades but I'm confident I did well. I also got to spend the summer interning for the EEOC which I found very fulfilling. I will be back with the EEOC this semester a few days a week. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I know in my last post I promised a blog about back door pilots. Don't worry, I'll be posting it in the coming weeks. Hopefully even somtime next week.

Also on the blog front, I blogged the first season of BBC's Merlin as well as various episodes of Glee and No Ordinary Family for More TV, Please! this past year. Coming in March, I'll be a semi-permanent fixture there while I'm blogging the freshman season of ABC's Body of Proof, starring Jeri Ryan (of Star Trek: Voyager fame) and Dana Delaney.

What does 2011 have in store for me? The new seasons of Doctor Who, Torchwood, Being Human and Merlin. Yes I've upped my British TV intake of late. I recently finished Robin Hood (I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys BBC shows).

As I look forward to beginning 2011 in a few short hours, I have to wonder what my resolution will be. I could say I'll blog more but I'm not sure whether that is really productive. So I think, my 2011 blog resolution will be to post more things that are interesting and different.

A short update and things to come

Hi everyone. I just wanted to stop by the blog during finals to give a quick query report and what's coming up next on the blog. I've just got my Evidence exam left until I'm officially 1/2 done with law school. Kind of can't believe it. It feels good to be closing in though.

I have sent out 23 queries so far and received 12 rejections. Yes, for those of you doing the math, that's a 50% rejection rate. I'm not overly pleased myself. But I've got 11 queries still out there floating around and I'm going to let them do their thing until January. I'll pick up the process anew then.

I'm also gearing up, once finals are done, to do a blog post about the success of back door pilots. So look for that in the near future.
