strange connection
Posted at May 6, 2007 5:19 pm
At a bar mitzvah today met a woman I knew peripherally from shul and got to talking to her- found out that she writes novels- and her agent (former agent) was Anna O. whom i had initially queried. (My third rejection) Small world. Anyway we offered to exchange manuscripts. She is also having the young adult/ adult genre crisis with her agent and is considering branching out and quering others. I am thrilled to meet another author. It isn’t something orthodox jewish women do, somehow. Also I have finished Dora’s first chapter which is all of a page long but I like nearly every word in it. Today I do. Tomorrow I may hate it. God, I am a SLOW writer. Also plowed through Zangwill’s Children of the Ghetto. **snore** Ah, well. And today I plan to finish a six hour long masterpiece theatre production of Bleak House. All in the name of research. argh . Why the heck didn’t I choose to write about Jews in Baltimore or music or something I know something about. It’s like learning to speak another language. blimey :-}
