Another gray day
Apr. 27th, 2007 12:51 pmNot actually raining much -- scattered showers so far. Which suits Wife just fine, as she has to cope with an invasion of 5th to 8th grade nuisances at the nature center, and was rather hoping to be able to spread them around the acreage in order to minimize the impact.
Got another rejection on GHOST POINT in today's mail. Both that and SIGNATURES twitched the same editor's racism reflex. Hey, not all my characters are nice people. Racism exists. The racists in both stories are Bad Guys and die, what more do you want?
I can't work up enough enthusiasm for writing, lately. Four books published, with decreasing sales, the market has spoken. Two further manuscripts begging on the streets. That's a lot of work and pain dropping into silence.
