Well, there's another 'no'. What a surprise, eh? *rolls eyes and tosses it on Excel pile* It's just as well I'm not feeling really sensitive today, hmm? Yeah right.

We didn't get to see Alfie yesterday, we're going this afternoon. I hope his cute, fluff-balliness can cheer me up. Knowing my luck, he'll be asleep.

I will let this stuff speak for me, for what is on my mind about you and your writing. *hug*

Jack Kerouac, George Orwell and Sylvia Plath are just a few of the authors whose books were turned down by the Alfred A. Knopf publishing house. Researchers going through the Knopf archives have come across their rejection letters, as well as a few others.

Dr. Seuss got rejection letters, too. Here is one:
"too different from other juveniles on the market to warrant its selling."

Madeleine L"Engle's A WRINKLE IN TIME was turned down 29 times.

And THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT was turned down so many times, Beatrix Potter initially self-published it.

Carrie by Stephen King

'We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias. They do not sell.'

I had no idea about those, especially the Stephen King one. I'm going to make a lil post today and use that section. One publisher had said that SC kind of gives off a negative vibe so I just have to use that quote today.

How's the lovelife? Still groovy? I'm pleased to hear you have vampy friends to play with. ;) I'm contemplating a vampy story myself but I want to finish Grizedale first cuz I'm anal like that, lol.

Gale says hi! :)
