02 November 2009

I probably weigh close to 190. I went from ALMOST a size 8 back to up squeezing into a 14 just out of the dryer with a couple of spring-toed jumps.
I'm upset about it, but I have bigger fish to fry right now.

Here's a list of things that have happened in the past 6 weeks:

My mom was institutionalized.
CPS found her to be an unfit/neglectful mother and asked her to leave the house
CPS gave custody of my three younger brothers to my father
Dad got a DUI while driving with my 12 year old brother
(they are both okay. Totaled the car though)
My brothers have been taken into foster care.
We dont have a car, so I had to drop my classes for the semester.
I found out I wont have health insurance as of my 21st bday unless I am a full time student (which, i am not.)

Um, thats all I can think of.

So, how's everyone else? Good I hope :]

I need stability like I need air in my lungs.

There's no so much going on, I dont even know where to begin to try to pick up the pieces.

Writing has taken over my life.
When I am not in class, with my family, or sleeping, I am writing about being a plus-size boy-crazy teenage girl.

I'm starting to get obsessive/compulsive about it, and I can feel myself getting self-conscious about my manuscript. My biggest fear is that it is boring. I feel like I need an outsider's perspective. My boyfriend has read some of it, but he's a guy.

Suggestions?!

Oi... finding an agent is such hard work. TOTALLY WORTH IT THOUGH.

Okay, Normally, I dont even like to talk about this... but FS buddies, I feel like you are the only people in the world who will understand me when I talk about my novel because its about a fat girl.

Right now, I feel like a fat underdog.

Havent we all felt like that at one time in our lives?!

Here I am at Barnes and Noble in a sea of Young adult novels that are about either glitzy glorified vampires, cutesy teenage zombies, prep-school undercover spy girls, drug addicts, high school cliques about queen bees and wanna-be's, backstabbing best friends, beach-babe blondes on spring break, or date rape. This is whats in. This is what is selling?
I found about five books that have similar elements to mine. They were all published in the early 2000's, when I was around 15 or so. I wish I had known about them back then when I really needed them.
I have to say I loved them, but I seriously wonder how they got the spot light when their books are about overweight girls.
I feel like the agents that I have queried so far have been prejudice of my main character because she's fat. Ugh. Maybe I am paranoid and my queries just really really suck. :P

School is going fine. I'm excited about working toward a future career. But every time I vision the possibility of writing for a living, I get a nervous/excited feeling. I love it and I really, really want it. I know I could do it. I just need one chance.

Does any one know anyone in the publishing industry? lol I'm not asking for a "hook up" or some kind of special privilege. Advice would be helpful though!

No one has even requested a partial of my manuscript and I am wondering if my query is getting my novel's strongest points across.
Oiii! So frustrating.
