Hahaha, "Panic, panic, panic, panic!" Definitely made my day. I love each of your videos, you guys are all such an inspiration to aspiring authors like me. Keep it up! Just subscribed! :)
Wow, 114 rejections? Gretchen, you made me realize how small my woes are. I have way too much pride and have been frustrated with 5 rejections. Thanks for your words. You are SO lucky to have landed Ginger Clark. Congrats, girl!
@creepycoyote Thank you! I think a lot of my pigheadedness in continuing to query the first novel was that I literally refused to give up. But for the good and the bad of it, I learned HOW to query and I think that really paid off with Novel #2!
@bookwormfaeriegirl It's called "YARebels Vlog Intro." Hee hee. It's a custom track my very best friend Roy Firestone did for us. He's a film composer and did it as a favor. Glad you like it! I'll pass the compliment along!
LOL - Loved the "panic" part! I have the same type of spreadsheet with the grey lines. Although I have about 4 times the amount of rejections, lol. Loved hearing your story!!

I hope my agent won't ever let me post a video like this.

Panic, panic, panic! Nah, you don't need any of that. And wow, talk about an amazing spreadsheet. I bow to your Excelness.

Hey, thanks for putting this up. I was wondering, what was the name of the song you play at the beginning?

@deeniegurl I WISH it was easy. I think I found strength in numbers connecting online with other struggling writers. REALLY helped!

I'm sure everyone doesn't panic EXACTLY like that. But there were some tough moments for me! (Still are, btw.)

This makes me feel better about querying somehow. A lot better actually. :]

I thought the PANIC was an accurate representation of what it feels like to query agents. AM I WRONG PEOPLE???
