Some people say they could wallpaper their bathroom with printouts of their rejection letters. I’m pretty sure I could wallpaper the entire first floor of my house at this point!
Ha! I pretty much got one of those yesterday (not in so many words, but let’s say we’re not on the same wavelength, me and this editor!). Great timing! Nice to know I’m not the only one who gets embarrassed.
The solution is to submit more manuscripts to more agents and publishers, that way although the rejections keep coming there’s always something [possibly positive] on the horizon.
Hm, I might have to nickname Tim Snoopy.
LOL!!!
I’ve been there before, bro… stinks.

Aww, Tim! That’s alright, at least you sent it out. Listen to Victoria. It’s still good. 🙂 Fun one!
Thanks, Sharri. 🙂 Errol & I are having a lot of fun with these NaNoToons…mainly because of all your comments! 🙂
wow, tim just needs to find someone who like extreme Scifi
Good point, Annie. So often, it’s not so much about the quality of the writing but about what editor is looking for what and when.
Agreed!
Hey! I’ve gotten that handwritten note. I think it’s funny now. It was embarassing then.
Aw poor old Tim, he’ll get published one day 😀

That’s why I am so scared to send a manuscript in… that and the cost. One day though…
