But then I love to write and I meet great people at conferences like SCBWI's regional conference last Sat. and have friends like you--so it's hard to hang up my computer cables!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment.<BR/><BR/>==MaryMary Bowman-Kruhmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16973425104206767851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943845274223606772.post-16997562474112162722008-07-25T20:14:00.000-05:002008-07-25T20:14:00.000-05:00Go, Mary, Go!<BR/>I agree. This whole business can be discouraging at times. Especially when editors you think you have a relationship with end up never replying.<BR/><BR/>I just got a rejection from a manuscript that I had given up on -- it was held over 9 months and I had given up at 6 months. Oh well.<BR/>The most recent submissions I made were to houses who state, if you don't hear from us, it's a no. Which just leaves us hanging. <BR/><BR/>I guess all we can do is keep submitting every few months to different publishers. Which only overloads the publishers' mailboxes, but what else can you do these days?<BR/><BR/>Congrats on getting a positive response on June 28.<BR/>-from the other half of C.W.
