Just when you think nothing is ever going to change...
Yes, groan, the western proposal (Summer Charade) I submitted to HM&B
was rejected; no surprise there. What was surprising was being
asked by the head editor (not my regular editor) to submit a 1-page
story outline for a NEW western.
To be honest, I am wearing thin. BUT I have a new editor! Even though
she's English, she liked the new western frontier story outline, so now I'm writing
the first 3 chapters/50 pages to submit to her, under a September deadline.
It isn't writing that is so difficult... it's writing what is wanted.

Congratulations! You're wanted. After all you've been through I do hope this one flies.
Christie--you are a jewel of a friend. Even if this one doesn't
fly, I am learning that there are worse things in life than rejection. And that there will be a life after rejection, no matter what.
Your books are brilliant. You can't help it if their heads are up their arse.
