They sent me an email saying they didn&#8217;t want to publish me and that I hadn&#8217;t sent enough postage, when I&#8217;d sent them NZ$50 in coupons, which is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently sent off a synopsis, letter and first three chapters of my novel, A Prawn&#8217;s Heart is in its Head, to a small publisher in LA. The letter to the publisher was the hardest: it took me days to write, edit, rewrite and re-edit. But on the big day (of postage), it was all [...]]]></description>

Five? But I was only sending it to one publisher at a time! (At the pathetic rate of about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After sending my first novel, A Prawn&#8217;s Heart is in its Head, to a few publishers, I received the first (no doubt of many) rejection letters a few days ago. As a friend of mine says, &#8220;Oh, poos.&#8221; My thoughts exactly, only her expression is much more polite. 
Strangely, I don&#8217;t feel too upset, because [...]]]></description>

Over the past couple of months we&#8217;ve had four sets of friends come over from England to visit, so it was hectic for a while, but it was lovely to see people we hadn&#8217;t seen for nearly two years, since we moved to NZ.

		<description><![CDATA[My friends have known that I&#8217;ve been writing a novel for years, but I&#8217;ve always been so cagey about it. Whenever anyone asks me, &#8220;So what IS it about?&#8221; I&#8217;m always very vague: &#8220;Um, well, it’s about a lot of things, like, erm, you know&#8230;.&#8221; I&#8217;ve resolved to stop being so cagey about my writing, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have finally done it! I stopped faffing around (I&#8217;m being polite) with my &#8220;dear publisher&#8221; letter and with the synopsis, gave myself a mental shake and JUST DID IT. Turn on computer, print letter, synopsis and chapters, place into padded envelope, go to post office, and send. Simple. And then I went to work [...]]]></description>

Okay, so the point of this blog is that I recently finished my first novel, A Prawn&#8217;s Heart is in its Head, and I&#8217;m trying to get it published. I actually finished the novel a while ago, and since then I&#8217;ve been spending / wasting the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve just finished my first novel, A Prawn&#8217;s Heart is in its Head, and this is about my journey in getting it published.  
It would never have even occured to me write a blog, or indeed anything like this at all; all [...]]]></description>
