YA writer on sub

I am a YA writer on sub slowly going insane. My candid musings.

Day 200 on sub

EVERY ONE JUST DIE

Day 129 on sub

Sigh another rejection lol.

Day 122 on sub

That little asswipe won’t stop until my entire manuscript is destroyed. It’s like he’s stripping it of EVERYTHING that makes it special, different and worthwhile, trying to force it into this pathetic, uninspired, pre-conceived cookie cutter mold to basically turn it into every lilly white apple pie derivative bullshit YA out there. Fuck you, buttmonkey. You have no idea how to write a fucking ms otherwise you’d be doing it yourself, wouldn’t you? I love it when failed writers think they have any fucking idea of how to put together a good story.

Day 108 on sub

fuck everything.

but hope everyone is safe in japan

Bloomsbury is anticipating 2011 to be the “year of the e-book”, as it reported e-book sales were running at just under 10% of trade print sales, as part of its interim results announcement put out this morning (28th February).

Day 114 on sub

I’m really getting antsy and pissed off at being ignored. REALLY pissed off. I hate being disrespected, particularly by people who are supposed to be ON MY FUCKING SIDE.

Day 113 on sub

You know, I wish somebody would take my career seriously.

Day 110 on sub….I think

lol I completely disappeared for a while. Sometimes you get so frustrated you don’t even want to be reminded that you’re on sub. Gah.

Right now I’m anxious. Things are at a standstill. Wondering when things will get moving again. Sad at all the waiting. Frustrated.

EDITORS MY STUFF ROCKS WTH IS WRONG WITH UUUUUU

And for all those who haven’t gotten back to me…R U SRS???

arainbowofgrey asked: I know it probably doesn't mean much, but hang in there :) I haven't gone down the publishing road yet, but I hope that your book gets picked up by an editor soon :)

Also I know of people who have been waiting for 18months- there are lots of other people out there just like you <3 Maybe start a new project while you wait to hear back about your ms?
Take care! And thankyou for the follow!

Thanks! Yes, I know waiting is just a part of the game, and I’m ankle-deep in a new project now. It’s just sometimes it’s so incredibly hard…so I’m hoping this tumblr becomes somewhat of a place for venting <3

vwswrite asked: what do you mean YA and SUB? you're a young adult writer? on??

I am a young adult writer, and my work is currently on submission to editors :)
