I don't normally get to post in Accomplishments, so will this do? A big-name agent has had a partial of my novel since the end of April. Even though I hadn't heard anything from her, I'd given up hope. On the advice of a friend, I emailed her a nudge re. the status, and she emailed back this response (edited for content):
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I started it and liked what I read, and then got distracted by a number of things. I still have it in my reading pile, but had no idea it's been so long. Can I read it next week and get back to you? I'm really very sorry.
So, all is not entirely lost on that front, it would appear. Not exactly an accomplishment, but I really wanted to post outside the Rejection forum. I'll post there later, after she finishes reading my partial (nothing like confidence, eh?).
