Another day, another successful session at the KidLitVic conference.
In one way, although I wasn't asked to submit my manuscript, with the only option being to send a query letter, I felt more rejuvenated about today than yesterday when I was asked (after much 'constructive' criticism!) to submit some chapters of my manuscript.
It's what happens when you find someone who thinks like you.
Who likes things the way you do.
Who may have the same background as you, or reads the same things you also did as a child.
When they start to speak out loud the things you've always wondered, quashing all of those doubts, you go "WOAH! Where have you been all my life?"
I walked away inspired, buzzing, and so invigorated. I was absolutely popping at my desk as I wrote up a query letter immediately, pouring my entire heart and soul out onto the screen.
Stuff professionalism... to some extent. I gave it my all. You only have one chance to make a first impression. I said everything, was probably quite pathetic and daggy at times, but I don't care. I expressed my truth, spoke from my soul, shared my passion, and then I hit send.
