So I've been working on this one novel in various incarnations for 17 years. It's gone through hell and back. It started out being a total cliche of every fantasy out there (practically), down to people jumping through a mystic portal to get to a land of magic and a place populated with cat-people and vaguely veiled D&D systems of magic. It was a contemporary fantasy with college seniors. It was the love of my writing life. It also scored triple-digit rejections along the way.
Now, 17 years and too many iterations to count later, it's a YA urban fantasy. My agent liked it, but wanted some revisions.
And today, my agent, God bless him, told me that he really enjoyed it...and will be submitting it to publishers.
Wish me luck!!!
