Let’s Dance While We Wait

For the next couple of weeks, we are pretty much in a holding pattern.  We’ve come to the conclusion that our time would be better spent in developing and following other alternatives, than sending out queries to more literary agents.  While we are working through new strategies, we are still waiting for some outstanding agent queries to be answered.  Maybe one of those will come through for us.  We can only hope.

But if nothing comes from them, that’s OK.  We won’t be discouraged.  How can we be?

Honestly.  How can either of us ever be discouraged with what we’ve accomplished thus far? 

Make no mistake about one thing.  Katherine and I did not write this book just to get published.    Although it would be nice to receive some — OK, lots of — income from this, that is not our main focus.

In this first book of ours, we set out to reveal the intertwining elements needed for a strong and lasting friendship.  As the book whispers its secrets, the reader experiences the richness of a friendship few have known.  Along the way, those who accept the invitation will personally experience what it is to have a friend and be one in return.

Writing that book was such an enriching experience that we are now working on a second book, which is aimed at teens and adults who are in a transitory time in their lives.  That book has practically written itself as well.  It is both thrilling and humbling to be a part of all of this.

Neither of us wants this to end.  Our plan is to continue to write on various observations and thoughts about relationships, as well as conduct workshops, classes, presentations, etc.

No.  No matter what happens on this journey of ours, we will never be discouraged.  We’ve invested too much of ourselves in this dream of ours.  There’s just too much at stake to give up so soon.

No.  We will not surrender so soon.

So, the only viable option for us is to dance while we wait.

Come join us.
