j_cheneyIt never rains, but it pours....
Got 3 rejections today, after nothing for weeks. Two short stories and an agent rejection. This week has not been fun.
Well, I deserve it, I suppose. I've never liked either short story that much, and I haven't put any time into revising them. The agent thing? Well, it was my first agent try. I just have to keep trying that.

Date: 2006-06-22 09:35 pm (UTC)I was thinking... if, say, 'somebody' has 43 applications to read, that's roughly 430,000 words. That's four books' worth! We might not hear for another week. Oy. Then again, one hopes that some of them could be decided on with a fairly quick read. One also hopes that ours aren't among those! At least, not unless the quick read leads to, "Oh, yes! We want this one!"
