*incoherent mumbling*

I said...

*more mumbling, even more incoherent than before*

I SAID...

*can it GET even more incoherent?*

I SAID I FINALLY SENT OFF A RESUBMIT REQUEST ON A MANUSCRIPT. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

*runs upstairs, crying*

*slams bedroom door*

YES.

The revised manuscript has been sitting on my hard drive for only two months now. You'd think the publisher would've known this and taken it, but no.

Whoo-hoo! And fingers crossed for you. :hooray:

Fruitbat · Apr 12, 2015

Woo hoo!

Bubastes · Apr 12, 2015

Wooo hooo!!!!

"Ben? It was time. You'll see. You're a stronger person now..."

:hooray:

Yay! Bet it felt great to click "send."

Good man.

This is the one I'd pitched at RT Booklovers last year and got four out of five requests, in spite of almost having my confidence completely destroyed by an unhelpful harridan.

I figured it was. And props to you for rallying even after she was an inexcusably demoralizing bitch to you. I'm still kicking myself for not having the balls to say something to her about that.

Fingers crossed for this submission!

It was incredibly difficult pulling myself together afterwards, but I had you, amergina, Cat, and a few others in my corner who would've kicked my ass if I chickened out. Or, worse, would've called my mother.

I'm still angry about that, too.

I didn't understand it (still don't, actually). She'd been on some earlier GLBT panels at RT so I figured her advice would be somewhat palatable since she's an "expert" on writing. However, she seemed hellbent on wrecking what little confidence I had at the time.

I knew she was a nasty, spiteful individual, but she still caught me completely off guard. What she said to you was 100% uncalled for. But I'm seriously glad you rallied and did it anyway. Uber proud, yo!

Progress!

Best of luck with this!
