Ha! Soul, I think we can all agree that wandering tenses are bad. Probably the book was rewritten from one tense to the other at some point, but there are a lot of places to point the finger on those sorts of errors.

Just crickets, Soul. Just imagining the different kind of queries in the slush pile and thinking about which category I am.

(((Kellion))) You're in the awesome but unappreciated category.

I think I need to dig myself a nice little hole to hang in for a while. I have a pit-worthy story brewing, but it's not finished yet so I can't share.

Pit-perculation, Ink? Crap.

Last Thursday marked the 2 month anniversary of my last request. I'm no longer renting in The Pit, I have a mortgage.

I was going to dole out individual hugs, but fuck it, :e2grouphu Pit

Shit Ink, I don't know what's happening but I'm sorry :(

LOL Steve. That's sad but true and funny at the same time

Steve, the nice thing about owning a piece of the Pit is that the value can't depreciate.

Red, yeah... 60? Whatever. Amateur numbers.

It's like saying, "Oooooh, this book was rejected by over 10 agents."

Seriously, I suspect my numbers are somewhere in the range of 150 agents, many of whom have rejected me multiple times.

60 and you're maybe a third of the way there.

Still crickets here too. But I care less about the crickets because I'm just doing it myself, lol. Got a check today to get the camera we're using.

BTW, I'm such a QCF (query-crack-fiend), I'm itching to finish the beta revisions on my WIP so I can start querying that.
