Back
Sorry about the absence. Life took over there - suddenly it was like that action-movie cliche where they're on a speeding, out-of-control subway and the villain has blown up the controls. But it's all good now.
In bad news, I got a rejection from one of my query letters. Par for the course, except that I sent the letter out in July 2006. And that they didn't even bother with a form letter - they just took my SASE, scribbled "not for us" on the back in pen, and mailed it to me.
Now, I know agents are busy, but this just made me laugh. Eight months to read a one page letter seems a tad excessive. And I can pay for postage but you can't cough up a penny in toner to tell me I suck? Perhaps you could have used my envelope as toilet paper before mailing it to make your sentiment even more clear. (Hm. Note to self: Disinfect hands after throwing out SASE.)
In good news, this book exists:
Sort of hypnotic, isn't it? Keep looking. He's sort of creepy, yet darned friendly, wouldn't you say? The Fresh Prince of watercolours rocks on.

this is good news? huh.
sorry about the rejection but you don't want to be repped by someone that disorganized anyway.
Sorry to hear about the rejection, but I must agree with kate. Who needs em!
I thinking of wallpapering my office with my rejection letters,... or perhaps the whole upstairs!
I've got a friend, recently agented, who's gotten three rejections from the same agency.
SHE GETS THE POINT. YOU HATE HER.
But really, so disorganized, right?
Good luck with it, it is so, so hard.
