No rejection letter today!

There was no rejection letter in today's mail, and this means that I have now had the same amount of time elapse between "manuscript receipt acknowledgement" and "receipt of rejection letter" as last time, earlier this year! Every day after this, as far as I am concerned, is BONUS!

Now if Tor can only hold off sending me a rejection letter till I finish the third draft edits, that'll be extra special cool. Just so's I can whip the manuscript off to either Baen or Daw in its entirety with as little turnaround time as possible!

Sorry, Anna, I'm just not down with that. I'm still going to root for the "acceptance letter" and the "major delicious whopping big check" thing too.

Ah, I see you gave in and got an LJ!

And heh! I feel superstitious about rooting for that myself, but by all means, if you'd like to root for it for me, feel free to do so! But at least with this book for this round, you might want to root for "please send us the rest of your book, the first three chapters are very promising" first. ;)

Yes, but alas it did not do what I wanted. I can't add in the RSS feed from my "actual" blog unless I'm a paid member here and I still don't want to try and do two blogs.

Any paid member that would consider adding me to the feeds please feel free to contact me! :) I still wouldn't mind having the "feed page" here so that both communities can read it (if they're that bored!).

Oh that's right. Not being an author-type myself, I'd forgotten that detail.

OK. I'm adding that to the "root for" list!

Ah yes, you do need to be a paid member in order to create syndicated accounts. I've reminded myself of this, just by going and reading the FAQ on the topic. I am a paid member myself, so maybe I could set you up a feed. :) I'll have to see, though, if it can be done in such a way such that the feed account could be handed off to you; I haven't done it before, so I don't know yet.

As for the book thing, hee. It varies from publisher to publisher--Tor wants three chapters and a synopsis, which is what they have out of me right now, so I am waiting to hear back if they're going to tell me no outright, or whether they will ask for the rest of the book. A couple of the other publishers I'll probably look at want the whole book right off the bat, though!

Regardless, thanks for the rooting. :)
