Well, things are slowly coming along on the revisions for Yesterday's Innocence - The Learning Curve. I've got three critique partners so the majority of problems should be pinpointed in the rewrites and corrected. I've even upped Mickie's age by about 4 years, which means Mark's age jumped too. I'm happy with the changes. It allows more freedom for them and for me.
Sent off a blurb and short synopsis to Avon Books. Wasn't the best way to intro the manuscript, but there you have it. It took them a week, but I got a form rejection from them last night via email. I'm going to make a scrapbook of these rejections and then, when my book hits #1 on the Times Best Sellers List, send them all a postcard with "I toldja!" on it. *Just Kidding*
Anyone who is in this business of writing, try to take your time and get it as close to right the first time and avoid rewrites like a plague.

Good luck at Avon! Hope you hear good things - and quickly.
Ah man, don't you hate those quick rejection emails? I'm waiting on one right now! LOL. You'll get there someday, just believe in your writing and be persistant.
