I’ve had positive MS assessments on two MSs (in the case of the second one I was told it was ‘an incredibly powerful and engaging story that really draws you in,’ which is pretty encouraging), but got absolute apathy from agents with both of them. Although I have the confidence that yes, I can write, I’m left with the feeling ‘What the hell do I…[Read more]

Sorry, everyone. I’ve had to say ‘will you be my friend’ again, because I deleted my account and rejoined. I just wanted to change my user name, that’s all. Hello again!

Thanks Philippa. It’s magical realism, so never going to be an easy sell, but I’m not giving up quite yet. At least I have that bit of paper from a professional saying it’s good that I can get out and stroke occasionally to console myself! Thinking about retiring my adventurous soul and writing some chick lit instead. :/

And waving back – I hoped the geometric shape was you!
And, btw, any impressions of me sending a few well-blunted darts your way in the last couple of days can now be discounted – they’ve blossomed into blooms worth celebrating. 🙂

I wondered what the prickles on the back of my neck were! Glad they’re now flowering.

Following a really positive book doctor report on my MS that said in a fair world my book would get published, I started submitting back in May. I’ve had nothing but form rejections.
So my advice PB is, when the rejections start coming in, you have to hold on very tight to the fact that it’s not your writing that’s bad, it’s just very difficult to…[Read more] -

Interesting. Looks as though SocialGO’s main server for cached files, images, style-sheets (that define the look and layout) is down this morning. The Cloud will look fine if you haven’t cleared your browser cache lately or terrible if you have, or it’s of limited size and the Cloud stuff has been pushed out.

And now it’s back up, which (I think) means my guess about SocialGo is probably close to the truth. They haven’t shut down, but they aren’t bothering to support their side of the operation.

I think they more or less admitted this to Stephen Marks.

It’ll be a shame if it goes down before the comp gets off the ground. Is it worth setting up an emergency contact list? For those that are happy to, I mean?

I think it is Sea

Another excellent blog, Richard. You got me to invest my beer-tokens in Keith Roberts and now it looks like I’ll be blowing the dust off my wallet for James Cabell.

Totally barking, Ath, but very very well done!
MPO is that if the cloud goes then all communication with participants goes too and you aren’t responsible for that. Attempting to continue with a subset wouldn’t be the same competition, would it?
