Novel is out on sub by my agent. Strong interest, passing read after read, editorial meetings, etc. at multiple publishers, but no offer. OTOH no rejects. Agent says reads within the house are intended find reasons to reject, but editors/readers love the writing, plot, characters, etc. Agent is confident we'll hear good news, but I'm waffling now on how long to stay in this limbo before deciding to yank the novel and try the self-publish route.
I know I can't leave things in limbo in perpetuity, yet...
Any thoughts? Should I set an internal time clock or just simply forget and continue writing book #2? Agent has been pitching for about 3-4 months.
