  1. Thank you for your delightful, helpful blog. For those of us struggling to be published and successful, it is often a lonely battle in the night -- beset by the demons of doubt from within and the harsh spirits of indifference from without. We writers must have each other's back, feeling the stronger for the support behind us.

    Thanks for helping me feel not quite so alone in the darkness. Come visit my blog {WRITING IN THE CROSSHAIRS,} pull up a cyber-chair, and chat a bit.

    As a courtesy only {not being pushy, honest} here is the link :

  2. Hello Roland! Thank you for commenting.

    You might want to join a writing or querying forum. I belong to two that are very supportive. www.fmwriters.com is for writers, and www.querytracker.net/forum is a forum in support of querying, and where we critique each others queries.
    www.querytracker.net also has a free query tracking database - for your queries, and of many hundreds agents' information, links, etc.
