That was my intention, but I also wrote the caveat at the end, hoping people wouldn’t take what I wrote as, “look at me.” Because that is never my objective, in fact, I dislike people watching me; I get all nervous when someone’s observing me. <br /><br />But I did want to share with others that it is okay to go back to the drawing board; it is okay to walk away from a big agent or a publisher if something doesn’t feel write, and it is okay to self-publish and let the reader decide. All of it is okay, as long as you don’t give up. <br /><br />Keep dancing, my friend; as long as the music is playing, have fun.Carmen DeSousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802237651430170152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119615232600399164.post-63521046011717520972012-05-02T13:14:56.711-04:002012-05-02T13:14:56.711-04:00Hi Carmen

My after is easy; it's pretty darn close to my mini synopsis, which you can see under my SHE BELONGS TO ME tab on this blog. Other than the normal 'bio and PLEASE contact me', it's almost identical; since it worked with agents, I hoped it'd catch the readers' attention too.Carmen DeSousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802237651430170152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119615232600399164.post-67558626544545613632012-05-01T16:41:50.611-04:002012-05-01T16:41:50.611-04:00Wow!
