I haven't accomplished anything this month. Still, I will have a real post up tomorrow.
And I hope you accomplished more than me.

Insecure Writer's Support Group
This month's question: What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published?
Sigh. It was a high concept paranormal romance. It was so bad I didn't even attempt revision. I knew something was wrong with it. I had no idea what. As a thesis for my MFA program, I've rewritten it. Completely. The only thing that stayed the same was one character's name and part of his backstory. The heroine changed. The setting changed. The plot changed. Even the point of view changed.
The manuscript I wrote next received 105 rejections and died on my hard drive. The third full length manuscript I wrote was picked up by an imprint of Harlequin. And here is were the insecurity comes in. I haven't sold a book since then. I haven't really queried since then either. But wow. It's depressing.
What was your first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? What happened to it?
