I spent at least twelve years (I lost count) working on a novel before I finally realized I needed to do something else. Four novels! That's quite an accomplishment!Tia Nevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489109929908389257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-73553959597541080512007-07-02T16:59:00.000-05:002007-07-02T16:59:00.000-05:00Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies ever.

It doesn't suffer from poor structure, waffling, or another other fatal flaws. I truly believe it will find a home :)Alex Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421948724206191688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-28174877071080897402007-07-02T14:28:00.000-05:002007-07-02T14:28:00.000-05:00=oD Thanks, Jan.

It'll take a lot more than a few rejections to knock me out. <BR/><BR/>Besides, the first draft of book 4 is almost finished. And book 5 is beating on the back of my brain to be let out. Oh, and the book after that, while being a little more patient, is still tapping its foot. I can't quit! I have too much work to do! <BR/><BR/>;o)B.E.

Several British publishers turned down Rowling, believing her manuscript too long and/or too slow, before the Bloomsbury Press signed her up in 1996, for $4,000 and a warning not to expect to get rich from writing children’s books. An American publisher had bigger ideas: Scholastic editor Arthur A. Levine acquired U.S. rights for $105,000.<BR/>End Quote<BR/><BR/>If JK can do it, so can you. :)Janiméhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026290749080406453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-71049429419220579642007-07-02T09:28:00.000-05:002007-07-02T09:28:00.000-05:00LOVE Galaxy Quest!
