They say late summer slows everything down, but...it's mid-fall now. Anyway. Good luck with yours -- all fingers crossed for you. From what I've read of your first novel, you're an excellent, funny writer; I'd think you'll have no trouble finding an agent who loves your voice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103586950723245790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-36743417629588543342008-10-01T10:50:00.000-07:002008-10-01T10:50:00.000-07:00I'm in the same limbo land as you and I'm not so g...I'm in the same limbo land as you and I'm not so good at the waiting part. <BR/><BR/>A very good published friend just told me, agent / editor days are like dog years. When they say X amount of weeks, plan on X amount of months. The truth is they have so many it takes them a while to get through them.<BR/><BR/>I'm with angie, I do wish they had an auto reply, just so you'd know they received it.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521384704019863926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-31811620653736550062008-09-28T11:21:00.000-07:002008-09-28T11:21:00.000-07:00I vote for starting a new project, but maybe that'...I vote for starting a new project, but maybe that's because I hate revising!<BR/><BR/>I'm also highly impressed that you managed to get anything off to an agent. I've yet to make that step... how did you force yourself to sit down, get the revision done, and then show it to people?<BR/><BR/>Yeah. I'm a wimpy slacker. I admit it.Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-27513958037475789982008-09-27T22:11:00.000-07:002008-09-27T22:11:00.000-07:00Gah publishing has the slowest timelines.

(Also wish there was a standard protocol concerning accepted waiting periods before you submit to others.) *sigh*Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.com
