Thank you, "Wonder". I do hope you're right!
I guess my writerly imagination is getting the best of me. I keep seeing that letter coming next April, (just in time for my birthday), which has this "We liked your book, but we regret to inform you... and then the expression on my face...
I did send this same manuscript (not quite as polished) to Tor on Jan. 31st, and waited until April before I sent it to DAW. Tor clearly just lost it. I had included (as I always do) a pre-addressed pre-stamped "got it" postcard to be dropped in the mail... and I never got it back from them, and I never heard word.
So I wrote them off, and sent it to DAW instead (I never re-sent it to Tor). Manuscripts in the slush pile do sometimes get lost behind the couch it appears. Or get used to housebreak the puppy. Oops! There goes my imagination again...
It's easy to write: painful to market. Ouch, ouch.
