Yeah, this was for a science fiction farce. I have confidence in the project, and think it will sell eventually. I forgot about King's wife picking it out of the trash. His book On Writing is fairly informative, though I haven't been able to incorporate all of his suggestions yet. That and Danse Macabre are the only books I've read of his.
I don't take it as a negative thing to get a rejection letter. The company felt the book was too big for them to handle!:lol Seriously, you must expect some rejection unless you truly have written something so dynamic and brilliant that everyone will like it. I'm fairly certain nothing has been written like that.
