In a world within a world.
Well, tomorrow's my big day to find out what's happening. Agent says there's lots of stuff going on, but she's been away, so I won't find out until tomorrow. On sub to a number of publishers in Canada, UK and elsewhere. Let's hope the thaw in Hell extends all the way to Ontario!

Everything crossed for you, Peggy. So exciting!

Sadly, I am apparently not riding the good news train. Big ol' R for me today. :-(

I made the mistake of really building this one up in my mind, so it was a particularly hard fall. BUT...gotta keep moving forward. Looking into doing some revisions before the next round, and resigning myself to the fact that no matter when we sub next, I won't hear anything before next year. That's the hardest part...knowing that I just waited almost two months to hear something, and now I have to turn around and do the whole thing again. UGH. These are the days when I hate my job.

I'm sure tomorrow will be better. :)

Anyway, sorry to bring the party down. I am genuinely excited for all of you with good news. You guys give me hope.

Great news, Coloradogirl! I love the titles. Looks like we'll be release season mates.

Can't wait for your official announcement, Peggy! English language deal, yes?

And Rosie a bite already! Very good sign.

Tracy, you're extremely resilient. Always hard-working, looking toward the next step. Sorry about that R.

(((tracythewriter))) I am so sorry it was an R. I know how hard it is when you want something so very much. And now to have to wait again? Boo. But you are right: gotta keep moving forward. PM me if you need to chat or rage, ok? Still cheering for you from the sidelines,
Mad

Aw Tracy, that's a rough one. No R is nice, but one that came from a sub that looked promising is really not nice. Hugs.

Our Hell is for good news and bad news and everything in between.

Sorry about that, Tracy. If it's any consolation, I haven't heard a word from anyone since Sept. 30. 8 editors still had it at that time. Maybe they all died in a suicide pact, and took my agent with them.

(((Tracy))) Some Rs are harder than others -- the "dream editors" who aren't dreaming about us.

Lkp, no news is no fun. It's like your manuscript is falling in the forest with no editors to hear it. Maybe some friendly dwarves or a passing wolf pack will adopt it.

YAYYYYYYYYY PEGGY!!! Congrats, and can't wait to hear it!

(((Tracey))) Ugh, that stinks! But you've got the right mindset. The waiting is hard, though!!

In other news...some of you know this already,but I've had some interest, too. It's the kind that involves revising first and no guarantees, though, so we'll see what happens. I'm really excited about the revisions tho and I think my book is going to turn out way better for them, so I'm looking at it as a win/win.
