Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Waiting for Tim's approval on his story, goofily titled: Minearest and Dearest, and then will have that available for beta read for parties interested in doing me a favor, you know, if he approves.
Finishing up next essay tonight. Moving along, moving along. I think so far I have 3 and a half that I'd like to use. I've no idea what is an acceptable length. Thinking out loud.

That's totally awesome. Rather brilliant, actually. I'm a sucker for good puns.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Me please, Allyson. I'll be checking in sporadically most of the day, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I don't expect him to get to it until he's finished with the Moon rewrite. Could be another week or so, depending.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Mememe Allyson. BTW, backflung on the first one.

You know that form rejection letter I got the other day? I just found out the agent in question is no longer with the agency--since he's supposed to be at the writers conference I'm attending in October, the organizers are trying to find out what's up. I.e. is he working, either setting up his own agency or joining another agency, if so is he still interested in our conference, etc.? It's apparently a very recent thing, probably between the time I submitted and when I received my rejection.
Anyway, am I right in thinking maybe my rejection meant nothing at all? IOW, any queries sent to him just got the form rejection?

It's certainly suspicious. Would they allow you to resubmit to a valid agent?

I don't know--I suppose it'd be worth a phone call, and I might, depending on what I decide to do with the manuscript. Depending on how it does with the agencies and contest that have it now, I might decide it's too flawed to market in its current form, and that I'm better served by finishing and polishing the new novel. Which, if nothing else, has a stronger plot and a more popular POV choice (third limited rather than first).
