In college, one library had a nice sign for kids ditching study hall, not terribly hip to where to plop: "attention dozers: you're sleeping in a thoroughfare."

Earlier on, I mentioned an idea for a book that I had. Well, I finished what would be my contribution if such a thing ever came to be. If anyone wants a taste, I posted about it on my blog. You can read the exact post, which includes a short quote, here.

Please send happy thoughts to my (unmentioned) potential publisher. I'm two weeks out from the 5 months they said they'd need to review my children's book proposal.
Not that I'm in a hurry to read a rejection, if they ain't interested I can't change that.

Um, yeah. Thought I'd 'fess up.
Got my rejection letter, with nice handwritten note
("Hope you find the right home for your manuscript.
")
about a month ago.
I'm going Multiple submissions now, baby. Probably to the Christian market which doesn't pay as well but I need to get published! Too many other projects which will work better once I'm extablished.
but thanks for the support, J m. I do appreciate it.

ah you'll get used to them eventually. The only difference between a successful author and someone who'll never make it is determination. Talent has little to do with it, just go look at a bookshelf in some store and you'll see that.

i'll take offence to that if mine gets published straight away...

Just thought I'd update. I sat and frittered, went to a book conference last fall, and made a quality push on my book / proposal here recently. Sent out five proposals two weeks ago and have heard back from one, a small house who was upfront and to the point regarding my rejection.
Wanted to update, because my Children's book WILL be signed and published, it's just a matter of When. I'll certainly let you know when 'tis official.

Thanks, Marky.
I got bored at the Music festival over the weekend, so I started thinking about flying first class to book signings, reading the book to children at events, and maybe, just maybe: have Louis released to run over to me at the end.
Animal abuse, I know.

It's about 32 pages long.
kidding. It's a nice turn on a traditional, well known story by adding new characters who happen to be dogs who save the day. I have a whole series planned if someone will just bite.
out of the five, two rejections are in. Three puposals still out there...
Thanks for the interest!
