Congrats.

I don't know about where you come from, but here in the US, not all of our snow is white. You may see clumps of yellow snow.

Stay away from it and don't eat it.

DeleyanLee · Jan 12, 2012

There's brown snow too, usually found in or near roads and driveways. You don't want to eat that either.

* is sick 'cause of the flip-floppy weather and wishes it would settle down

Sorry to hear that PD, but at least you keep trying.

That's a good thing.

Don't give up.

Keep sending them out.

Oh no... oops.

THe rejection letter was not about the MS I subbed.

It was a rejection from another agent to the query!!!

Hey, you already got a request for a full, right????

All it takes is one!

How do you think all those agents who sent auto reject letters to JK Rowling feel about now?

Yes - I keep thinking this. But then I get too hopeful. And then I try to prep myself for the worst and that rejection letter. Then I feel

Ah, I see.

Understood.

Yes - I sent the MS back to Ms Agent today. I won't hear from her for at least 4 days. 4 days up to 5 weeks.

I now have 16 rejections to the query. I think I sent out 43 - so we are slowly getting them all back

You are hilarious.

The master of joke posts :roll:

BeatrixKiddo · Jan 12, 2012

You sent out 43 though PD. That's good.

I've sent out "0" so far.

Yeah, I did my research before sending, making sure they all accepted my genre, and had recent sales in it.

That they were legit, and not a 'new' agency. Because some of those fold quickly. :/

So I am hoping Ms Agent likes it and wants to take it on, but if not I have 20-some queries to still come back *sighs*

*How come you haven't gotten any out? Too busy with RL?

I got a ???

If i should buy a domain name for a website, should it be after the book. RE: VisionofShadows.com or After me?

My wife pointed out that I would hope the website & domain name will be around for more than just the one book. The sequels will all have the word Vision in the title, but that's not available.

Thoughts?

Brian_G · Jan 12, 2012

I'd go with your name (whichever one you chose to use). That way it is valid for all your books

night-flyer · Jan 12, 2012

But Vision of Shadows sounds really cool. A good name for a site.

Vince524 · Jan 12, 2012

Still deciding on name.

Probably going with my own as it may be the only way to prove to my father & sister that I got published.

I just haven't decided on which version.

Vincent Morrone. Vince Morrone or VJ Morrone.

Still thinking about Paul Stanley.

You could do both... have a website with the book name and one for your own name and link to all your book pages on that one.

Don Evan Scott · Jan 12, 2012

You might need to do that, before one of us does

lol

Right!!!!

And how does one do that?

Vince524 · Jan 12, 2012

My daughters are home from skiing. No one ended up at the bottom of the hill inside a really big snowball.

This is a good thing.

The same way you would have one website... except have two (and add as you publish more books).

Vince524 · Jan 12, 2012

I'm still trying to figure out how to create/promote/deal with 1 web site.

I need minions.

Brian_G · Jan 12, 2012

You have daughters... have them invite friends over and bribe them with... well... whatever it is teenage girls like.

Vince524 · Jan 12, 2012

I am not bribing them with Taylor Lautner!

*Doesn't know who that is.
