annathepiperFor those of you who might be counting, it is now two entire months since I got back my "yes, we got your manuscript" postcard from Tor. I am still fairly certain that this is heavily related to the recent office move that has gone on there, but hey, I'll take any extra leeway time I can get as I am still slogging my way through the third draft edits.
Next up: to see if I can make it to the end of the year. Because as previously mentioned, a rejection letter for Christmas would suck. Unless it was a funny rejection letter, maybe. For example:
"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Your novel is still too wordy."
"Peace on Earth, good will to men, and fewer adjectives to your prose."
"Don't think of this as a lump of coal in your writerly stocking. Think of it as fuel for the fire of--ah, what are we thinking? It's a lump of coal. Happy Holidays!"
"Santa knows when you're dreaming, when you're awake, and when you're working on your novel. Unfortunately, you did not make his Good List this year."
"We do thank you for not spilling any egg nog on your manuscript; however, we recommend drinking a little less of it while writing."
"If you dream of a white Christmas, we respectfully suggest you cut out your extraneous sentences, print them out, and fling them around the yard as snowflake substitutes as we cannot use them."
