And oh yes...
Oct. 26th, 2005 03:03 pmI have now hit the five-month mark with Luna!
I've started getting more nervous about the status of my manuscript these days, and have to keep myself from wondering things like whether it fell down behind some editor or other's desk, or whether they actually sent it back two months ago and it got misdirected, or, or, or.
I am waffling about whether to send them a nudge now or give them until the six-month mark. And whether I should send a polite little letter asking after my manuscript (with an SASP enclosed for a reply, of course), or whether I should just suck it up and call them, braced for a possible "Oh yes, THAT book, we sent it back to you three days ago, guess it just hasn't gotten back to you yet!" reply.
Agh! The suspense!
Right. There's something I'm supposed to be doing to alleviate this. It's called WORKING ON THE OTHER BOOK.
Days without a rejection letter from Luna: 5 months, 0 days
