WE DID IT<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WE SURVIVED FEBRUARY!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a lousy bag of suck that month was. BUT IT’S GONE NOW AND GOOD RIDDANCE >ptooey<<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite illness, migraines, rejections, onslaughts of bad news… I did, in fact, manage to finish the final line-edits for Space Crazies. It was a struggle and I had to bribe myself to get it done, but GET IT DONE I DID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HUZZAH!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few small presses that are open that I want to submit to, so despite my pessimism I am rolling up my sleeves for one final sling of queries. I do want to hit 50 in my queryometer–having it posted on the door to my office means it mocks me every time I walk past it, so THAT’S IT, Queryometer, YOU’RE GOING DOWN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently PitMad is also on Thursday? I might hurl a few tweets into the void there as well. It costs me little work and it might lead to a new lead, who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the bigger picture is that now that I have finished Space Crazies and it’s off my plate, I am free to start editing Fletcher & Cooper<\/em>! I am so excited, I have missed those little dum-dums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you needed another piece of evidence that Publishing Moves At The Speed of the Gosh-Darned Ice Age: I submitted BOO to a small press back in Feb of 2019 thanks to a PitMad like. They took until July to decide that they wanted to move the manuscript to a senior editor to decide (!!). Then nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I followed up in January, 2020. They said they would get back to me in a week or two with an ETA of the editor’s decision–not the decision itself, you understand; but a timeline to expect the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have still not heard from them. I followed up with them last week. Still nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In slightly better news, the Aurora nominations are open<\/a>!
