Work of Many Kinds

6/7/2016

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

​Today was one of the most chaotic, insane, make-your-head-spin kind of work days I've ever had, but at least it was one of those days at Disney!
I'm completely drained after today, but I'm confident that tomorrow will go more smoothly. That's the wonderful thing about my job... it's never too crazy for too long.

Anyway, what I actually wanted to talk about was the work that I'm doing for my book. I've been doing a lot of research as far as looking for agents to whom I can send my book. It's difficult to find agents that you think will really connect with your story. I've been compiling a list since I first started writing my novel, and have since added to, and subtracted from, that list based on how the novel turned out.

Over the past few days, I've really made a strong effort to research agents and find specific reasons why I believe my book would resonate with them. I have a ton of websites saved to my computer with information on the agents to whom I will be writing, and now I just need a bit of free time so that I can actually sit down and write to them.

Going into this whole writing business, I knew that writing my novel would only be the start of the process. Finding an agent and actually getting published is a whole process within itself. Yes, it's a lot of work, and yes, I'm not going to find success overnight. But the more effort I put into this process now, the better the outcome will be. I don't just want to write to any agent who represents Young Adult fiction; I want to write to the agents who are looking for exactly what I have to offer.

I think that on my next day off from work, I'm going to shut myself in my room for a while and start writing to agents. Sleep and/or swimming can wait; I have work to do.

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
