Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have a forbidden fantasy? Is there some adventure you wish you could let yourself have, but you lack the money or spunk to attempt it? Have you been nursing an impossible dream that is no closer to fulfillment now than it was when you first conjured it up years ago? If so, Taurus, the time has come to resolve your relationship with it. Either renounce it and forget it forever, or else take a bold, practical step toward making it come true. P.S. You have more courage than you realize.

Attention: Writers

From :

“first off, writers and writer-wannabes: do you have any favorite LJ communities that are writing related? i’ve promised myself i’d do something with this 1/3 done draft and i’m at a point where i could use some advice or guidance on the next step(s).”

Anybody?

So, this rejection from Baen has created an opportunity.

It’s time for a re-write.

I’ve already been re-doing all the intros to the chapters. The poetry is going bye-bye, and Timothy Marley is getting a bit of an upgrade.

The dream sequences are going to be double-checked, and only re-arranged if absolutely necessary.

The invasion of California will stay. The robots in California will stay.

They just may not be giant. And they likely won’t transform.

This is a big diversion for the last 4 or so chapters of the book. Would anyone like to share their opinion? You likely won’t get this chance after I become incredibly famous. ;)

Almost to the day…

Dear Author,

Thank you for showing us your novel, Remembrance. Unfortunately it does not seem right for us.

While due to the volume of submissions and the press of business it is impossible for us comment in greater depth, please do not take this rejection as being necessarily a reflection on your work; we can accept fewer than one percent of the manuscripts submitted to us.

Best of luck in another market.

Sincerely,

The Editors
