Willing to Learn

After reading Rachel Gardner's post this morning I found a new respect for the agents. What a hard and sometimes ungrateful job they have.I promised to strive to improve myself. I am so willing to learn my trade. Though, I  have had an article in Essence magazine, many in various (mostly local) magazines, my words printed often times in the newspaper, and accolades for my writing I aspire to be a well known author. Because of the many agent blogs I read, I am willing to learn more.

This Sunday I spent the morning browsing through one of the 1/2 Price Bookstores in Houston. I found two of the most helpful books. One is so informative I thought about it before bed and it was one of my first thoughts when I woke. Just so happens the YA Novel writing book is edited by Alice Pope one of the agents I follow on twitter. I have only written one novel for this age group, but it seems to be what the market is salivating for and I must work harder to be the napkin they wipe their

I have come to the realization that no matter how great I believe my novels are I know nothing when it comes to perfecting the query or synopsis. What do you feel about the consistent study and honing of your craft?
