Writing and Crafting

Hi there, I'm new to blogging and I'm looking forward to the experience. I love to write, and I'm in the midst of writing my third novel. Nothing published yet, but I am keeping my hopes high. One of my biggest problems is not being tenacious in my attempts to find an agent or a publisher. I send out a few queries, and when I don't get an invitation to send my work along, I just go back to writing. If anyone out there in the blogger world knows of a site that might be helpful to me regarding my writing endeavors, I'd be receptive to any advice given.
When I'm not writing, I'm crafting. Last spring I joined a wonderful site that has thousands on wonderful crafter's: Etsy.com. My shop name is: lynnesthisandthat. Everyone is helpful to newbies. Now that I know a bit more than when I started, I try to go into the forums for a period of time every day to assist those who have one problem or another...paying it forward! Now...back to my latest novel.
