Uhm, Are you Kidding Me With This?
« on: November 14, 2007, 02:20:55 PM »
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.

Witch Eyes: The edits are so angry!  They've got a knife!  Oh god, what are they doing to my abandoned WIP....:'(

Ummm...apparently promoting it to agents surreptitiously...it's all in the eyes baby!


CONGRATULATIONS LEGE!!!  :woo:

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. :wink:

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.

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. ;)
