And in advance, feel free to tell me to jump in a lake. ;)
So I stopped submitting on my first novel in September. Like. awhile ago. So the roomie and I have been joking about how a full was going to come in for SoE while I was still finishing up Witch Eyes. Funny, right? Never going to happen, but funny nonetheless.
Uhm...the full request came in an hour ago. I just saw it. My second request for a full for Shadows of Evil. One more partial, and I'm tied with GG. :P

And it's a good thing you only said you weren't receiving any more rejections- you might have jinxed yourself!

Lege - WAY COOL! Congrats!
After you take Joan on as a 3rd roomie, will there be room somewhere for a 4th when I begin the querying phase?

Really, I don't even know how to feel about it at this point. My second novel will be loads stronger, but I don't think the first one is BAD necessarily either. Just not as good example of my skill or whatever.
Plus, I had that whole realization thing a few weeks ago about where the problem lied in the novel.

Oh no!! so.. is it an easy fix? Too bad you have delve back into it.. but it might be a nice stalling excuse for the current WiP... It's all about stalling you know.  |

Does the problem you found happen before or after the pages you sent as a partial? After my rejection of a full last week, I listened to his reasons for rejecting and made changes. The other day I got a request for a partial, so I sent the new revised pages. Revise. You never know if another request is around the corner. Coll  |

I also think you should revise. Take a few days, even a week or two. There's no hurry to send it. Take your time and get it right.

Thanks all. I appreciate it. Even if I'm a little disconcerted about this. ;)
