Wow, what a climb, Raine. Did it give you courage, though, having that first agent interested? Having 50% full requests is amazing! (what is the “other stuff”?)
So is it your third book that’s out on submission at the mo?
wenbikes. Yeah. I have those.

Wow, good thread me dears. PB, and others submitting, I feel your pain. I had an agent, had a book go out on sub, said agent left publishing, so now back to submitting a new book. I guess my experience has told me a few things:

If I was Harry, I’d be taking a good look at my direct debits and standing orders right now 🙁
-
What have I missed??
-
Nothing definite as yet, but SocialGo, the Cloud, YWP all inaccessible right now
-
Ah, I wondered – not been able to get onto Cloud for a couple of days, but haven’t been online much.
-
I haven’t been able to get onto the cloud since yesterday morning.
-
I could access it yesterday but today- nada

I own several wenbikes. They are bicycles in the shed that are only mentioned in the context of when-I-start-cycling-again

Uh oh. Cloud is just giving me the white screen of doom
-
Yes, it disappeared earlier this morning. Same happened yesterday but it came back. Rather a long break today 🙁
-
Knowing little about how these things work, it feels as though we’re in a bit of a death spiral now, but for all I know it will continue to limp on indefinitely
-
Somewhere else is also down – as is the SocialGo.com site and also their ‘cache’ server. It’s not looking good.
-
I have a bad feeling about this

(Not especially, it’s just that ever since watching Star Wars I take every opportunity to say that. See also ‘watch your mouth kid, or you’ll find yourself floating home.’ Most of all, I wanted to shoot a radio and say ‘boring conversation anyway’.
