Oh look. The dreaded Big White Box. And a form rejection from DAW.

I know the odds, but it always stings.
So, I'll whimper for a bit, wonder why I do this, eat too much chocolate...
Then I'll write a new cover letter, box up the first 3 chapters, and give Tor a try.

Whimper, wince, repeat...

My writers group has the virtual Chocolate Pool for occasions such as these. Sink in up to your chin... it cures all ills!

Got the bag of M&Ms on my desk as we...speak?...and another project on the Word Processor.

Oh, poop. You've got the process down, which is good, but this part always sucks...

Yeah. Darn-I was hoping to share a publisher with the goblins! ;)

I think I'll go have my demons eat someone...

Ah, phooey!

Just pack it up. (Even as I say that, I admit that I haven't re-packed DD yet. But I have four more book companies lined up in my head, all begging to read it!

Well, this is what I was expecting (and see my next post!) I haven't given up on it yet.
