Last year George R.R.
Martin's The Ice Dragon motivated me
to try my hand in the fantasy genre. I
worked through start to finish, forty some odd typed pages of text. It was a complete story and my first, aside
from the countless, ever so clever, children's books and or ideas that have
passed through my head. I submitted the
story in the usual way, but with a hint of similarity to the owl post that
plagued Vernon Dursley. When I received
a handful of replies from the near three dozen queries, "So it goes",
I did not despair, but delighted. I know
the routine and some of the feedback; well actually all of it was well received. Then I read Tolkien, and for the past eight
months or longer, I have been rewriting that story, to improve it, and I am
completely delving into my fantasy world and ideas. So as for queries I have made only a handful
this time around, and the story is not finished, but most certainly will be
when I conclude it. Of course I would
love for my story to be welcomed into the published world, but that is only up
to me if I self publish, which I have looked into as well. So I happened across your name and your
agency, and found a similarity, you see the story is intended for a middle
grade and or perhaps young adult audience.
With all of that said, I will now tell you about the story itself.

dear god it is now coming out of both ends......have a look!
i quit my job today
perhaps tomorrow i shall beg a reprieve
it matters not
for my employer is me

mind vomit.....i swear if not for my children i would be buried in an unmarked grave....so here's what i just came up with:
if the day was truly warm
i would be beyond my door
from bees that swarm and other evils
i would not hide
but the sun, she lies
so we sit indoors
or rather we die
