Reform, Lamar. Reform.
Two steps forward and one step back is still progress, right?
Had a good (and full) day at work today, then came back to find a note from an opportunity down in Georgia (Jan-May) requesting a phone interview. Stoked, I am. And to add to the perfection, I happen to have the day in question off. Cool, yes?
Add to that I got some awesome (re: really, really useful) reviews on the OWW today and will hopefully be returning the favors either tonight (if I can swing the energy pendulum the other way) or tomorrow, which is probably what'll happen anyway as I'll have the time to pace myself.
Then, not five minutes after replying to the phone interview request, Masada picked up its latest rejection. Granted, it was after the agent read the full manuscript and the reason she gave was thoughtful and much appreciated. But it seems I've hit a wall with that novel and I may need to retrace my steps a bit before doing the next round of queries. Caveat: Though I seriously think I'm running out of agents to query! I've been good about sticking to guidelines and sending stuff to people who would best appreciate the genre Masada sits in, but I dunno. They've all said no.
Either way, I'll probably need to finish the Sons revisioning before I return to that child. Got my work cut out for me, no?
