   Spring officially started a little over a week ago, but it's not very spring like everyday. Some days it was really cold and or snowing. Other days were very spring like some sunny some rainy. Today is an overcast windy day and it's suppose to rain this afternoon. Because it springtime again it's time for spring cleaning again. This year hubby and I have started by putting carpet titles down in my kitchen and dining area. Then we pulled all the carpet and padding in the hallway and living room and put wood flooring down.              Then of course the kids were on spring break from school until yesterday ( Tuesday). So while my kids were off school we for eye dr appointments, a dr appointment, and an orthodontist appointment done on top of Easter for my kids. Needless to say I have not gotten much writing done, until Monday. But thus is life of a mother and writer.      I got pretty far in the scene I was working on Monday. Yesterday I sent some query letters out to

   I was told a while back by more then one author that was able to find an agent that it will be hard. One actually said "you will be able to wall paper our office with the rejection letters before you get an acceptance." But I was not prepared for how hard it has been for me.     I understand it's really hard to find an agent, but I seem to be having a harder time then some other writers. I have never gotten a request for a full copy ot part of a copy of my manuscript, it's kind of discouraging after this long. But I have not given up, I will not give up on my dream.    I was talking to my hubby about a rejection I have gotten resently, when I think I figured out why I am having a harder time then some. I am writing from the monster's point of view,and no other author does that I found. Ok there is one, Ann Rice, she wrote from the vampires's point of view  and technically they are monsters, but they were always people they are now just undead people tha
