Well, crap. Just heard from Agent of Awesomeness that BREATHE was just rejected by an editor we had high hopes for. (This is the adult manuscript with cancer as a main theme.) Anyhow, the R was very complimentary-- deeply felt, intricately wrought, passion shines through, but she just didn't fall in love. It's like a drinking game, I swear. How many compliments can I amass per rejection?

"What if I tell you my manuscript had a twelve-inch cock? Is that something you'd be interested in?" Thinking of things like that is why I'm too immature to be published, huh?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That sucks, Barb.
Also, I'm very glad I wasn't trying to drink anything when I read erika's comment.

Inner Ari shows up at all the wrong times, Windsparrow...those scenes with Bob-the-retired agent...bwah! "Could you just die, Bob?" Huh...Mom and I say that all the time now and Robert Novak dies...maybe I should feel drunk with power now.

Aw crap, Barb. Sorry to hear that. It sounds like something I'd read. Stoopid publishers.

Thanks guys-- like I said, it's almost to the ridiculous, game-playing sort of point. What can I do, you know?

And because it deserves its own post, yay Sean for snuggling and back rubs and really nice progression with Date Girl.

eta my favorite political comment
Standards in grammar have slipped considerably over the years, and particularly during Labour's tenure, in order to not offend people who are too lazy to learn to speak and write English properly. We now frequently have to adopt a lowest common denominator approach to language and culture so as not to offend anyone. Personally, I am absolutely delighted that this gentleman is gently rebelling against this societal slide. Well done Sir.
