DAY 153 - NOVEMBER 3, 2009

Hmmm. It's going to be hard to balance speed with writing the kind of jokes I want. I hope that, as I improve, I can consistently aim for the jokes I want and quickly revise them to be as good as possible.

Anyway, worked on roast, blog, and retrospective, with good results. However, the query didn't go all that well. I let fear get in my way. I didn't have a lot of in-depth knowledge of the magazines which I had guidelines for, so I blocked myself from writing anything. Well, tomorrow I'm going to try again. THIS time, however, my goal is to finish a query. It can be an awful query for all I care (though I will strive to make it readable and professional). But I've noticed the trend - I have to fail first for my mind to click, so by planning to finish and send queries over having them succeed, the law of averages will take over as I keep learning on how to do them better.

Tomorrow, same stuff as before, including FINISHING that query.
