_I found a good explanation of the difference between the active and passive style of writing. 
Active Style.
The emerging writer (noun) researched (Action - verb) target publishers (object receiver of action.)

Passive Style.
Target publishers were researched by the emerging writer.


 I sat down with the books Mission Possible, How to Make Money from your Writing
Also A Decent Proposal, How to sell your book to an Australian Publisher or literary agent.


I have had a huge learning curve day.
I joined Sisters in Crime inc today,  it looks like there is a great deal of helpful information on the website.
I found this blog on writing a query letter.

I wrote my 7 word novel pitch.
"Crime mystery, historical and young adult theme. "

I already had my 25 word elevator pitch written. I still have not learned it off by heart. I MUST do that.
"Children begin and then try to stop an escalating culture of payback in this compelling story of treachery and love during European settlement of Australia. "

Then I wrote a 150 word concept statement about my novel for the publishers. I put more information about the author together. i learned how to program my Word document to correct my grammar under stricter guidelines.

Remember the 10,000 hour rule. That's roughly how much work and practice it takes to become accomplished in any field, whether it be sporting, creative of professional; 10,000 hours is 5 years of full time hard work.

Altogether a great day.  I might call it a day and get to bed at 1am instead of 3 or 4 am for a change.
