Milwaukee pics + update on my agent search



 these are some photos i took when we visited Milwaukee just before schools started. i had heard there were so many kid-friendly things to do, like the children's museum and the mini aquarium, but the weather was so beautiful and we were already missing summer, so we spent our time at the beaches and walking along the riverwalk. 

and i really, really wish i could share great news with you regarding my search for an agent. it has been a year now since my search began. and still no agent. it is very discouraging and i can see how disillusionment can set in. but i must always have a shred of hope in me, because i keep sending those query letters out there. i sent out a batch today. and it hasn't been all nothing. i've had many agents get back to me, asking to read my manuscript, but in the end, the answer has been no. for now. let's hope i'll find that agent out there whose aesthetics match up with mine! i just wanted to share this with you since i've been rather silent about the search. i do get tired of telling people that i'm still searching.

Hang in there, Soyoung. The right person will come along!

I went to the Macondo workshop this summer in San Antonio and it might be a good venue for you to consider sending your work - the community there would likely be able to help sustain and support your writing.

Thanks, Shin Yu, i certainly hope so! and i will look up the Macondo workshop - something for the future when Cordelia is old enough. :)
