So where do I go from here?

Well, that’s a good question. Where is here? Here  is in the limbo of no agent, no book on contract, busily trying to produce more work. I am a planner in my life (though not so much my writing) so I will be spending sometime making plans. I have to plan how to finish all of the stuff I am working on and then once I do, what will my next steps be?  I will need to plan how I will search for an agent while pursuing other publication opportunities. Amazingly, these are not mutually exclusive tracks. I hope to pull together an idea of the next book I want to write…this is me waiting for inspiration…so I can keep the writing muscles exercised. I am also intently working on understanding my critical block when it comes to POV.  I seem to be an unrepentant head hopper, and that must stop! So with all of these things to occupy my time not to mention my day job and my committment to the Board of Directors of JDRF in San Diego, I have my hands more than full! So, how do you deal with a setback in your life, your writing, or anything else you might be pursuing? Are you a planner? Or are you one of those believers in fate and/or divine intervention?
