I wrote a submission-query this morning blog tribe. I always tell myself I'll do more of these, but I never do. I don't reckon I've even hit ten total - in life. The one I wrote today was actually to someone who already knocked me back once before, four years ago. I can't really blame him. My book wasn't ready. And my letter was like, "Ummm, I have a blah-g and I live in Australia and I'm going to go to New York City, and I'm writing about it."...

Namaste blog tribe Today is Friday 11 October 2013. FollowMeToNYC has reached a hiatus. A new project begins, a successful one concludes. I was on the telephone with my mate Mike in Australia last week discussing my blah-g. To Mike's point, I need a new pitch - a fresh start.
