Ugh! I think I'll wait for spring. <BR/><BR/>And the rest of the playmates are absolutely correct about the R. I know it doesn't take much of the sting away right now but you definitely got a good rejection (an oxymoron if ever I've heard one). You have an excellent plan of attack and a wonderful new book to work on as well. You're gonna take NY by storm sooner than you think!<BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1138725286674889142006-01-31T10:34:00.000-06:002006-01-31T10:34:00.000-06:00Where was your DH during all this?

I can't even throw out my own stuff!<BR/><BR/>Enough of that...I know it doesn't take all the sting of an R away, but it was a great letter to get if you couldn't get one with a contract attached. Maybe a couple of tweaks and a new target like is all it needs to sell one day.<BR/><BR/>SPAndrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1138720318327744142006-01-31T09:11:00.000-06:002006-01-31T09:11:00.000-06:00Will you come help my husband put together the sto...Will you come help my husband put together the storage cabinets he bought for our garage??? I hate assembling things with him. <BR/><BR/>As much as that rejection stings, you do have that nice beige stationery that gives you a lot of information. Who knows, with the recent changes, maybe that line isn't right for you. I've heard of several authors who are going to target a different line because they think their writing will better fit somewhere else now. But tides change and in a few years the pendulum may swing back to where it was before.<BR/><BR/>By the way, while cleaning out my office closet I found a bunch of round colored stickers, some with prices pre-printed on them. Would you like them for your garage sale?Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1138719188084718612006-01-31T08:53:00.000-06:002006-01-31T08:53:00.000-06:00First off, will you come work on my garage?I'm ver...First off, will you come work on my garage?<BR/><BR/>I'm very envious of your rejection letter. At least you know a REAL editor thinks you can write. And you know why that book didn't sell this time. (Just hang onto it--once you do sell, you can trot it back out and send it around again!)<BR/><BR/>KKProblem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.com
