Allyson, I think it's great, too.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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
I don't really understand why it didn't sell to anyone. In my head, it's a pretty good little book.

Maybe it's just bad timing and it's not the kind of story people are looking for right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time reading agents' blogs (for someone who has no interest in writing a book), and it always seems like actual quality is only the first hurdle.

Because books.

It is. But in this marketplace, everyone wants to be sure they know how to sell it, and move those copies. Publishers are gun-shy right now. Or I should say even more gun-shy than usual, when it comes to outlay of money vs. possible profit.

Just about everyone came back with a, "cute book! No money," rejection.
I wonder if I can use these as cover blurbs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
