Well, back to the drawing board, I had a full out for review for over 7 months and just received the rejection.

I had purposely not submitted it over the past couple of months anywhere else so that if I received a rejection on the ms, I could step back and take a new look at the book.

Now comes the opportunity to see if I want to start editing again and see if I can bring the word count up.

It is a nonfiction Christian book with 37K words. I know there are books of this length being published, but mostly by established authors. So while I work on building my platform, I will review the ms itself.

Just thought I would vent a little...

It's hard, Michael, when you get rejected on a full. If there were personalized comments, that would help you to revise, if you feel it's needed. It's good you're thinking of taking a step back from it to see what you might want to work on with it. Remember, though, it's only one person's opinion on the ms.

Keep at it. The request tells me that you're onto something and your writing is either there, or getting there.

I know its hard to keep on, but what else can we do? We're writers, right?

Thanks for the boost - I am committed to this particular work, though I have another in progress. I'll be reviewing it based on some things that I have learned since the time I completed it - the learning never stops <G>
