Sometimes it's extremely depressing on the old submission process front to go through a list of agencies and see that you've already submitted to--and been rejected by--most of the names on the list. After all, once you've gone through the whole list, exactly what the fuck are you supposed to do next?
"Let's see, the Lori Perkins Agency... nope, had my throat cut by them already. Maas Books... yes, they dumped me over the side of the boat a year ago. Ricia Mainhardt... Jesus, she still hasn't gotten back to me and that was what, four years back? And next--" I wish I was kidding with this entry, but I'm not. No word back yet from Harlequin, of course.
At least my football team won yesterday and Dancing With The Stars is on tonight. Down with The Situation!
Back to the salt mine I go.
EDIT: It was submitted, and rejected within about three hours or so. Fuck me in the neck. On to the next one, I guess... whichever hell one it is I can find. If I can even find one.
In other words, FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
rejection,
submission,
sour grapes
