As the page turns...
Tuesday, January 13, 2004Well, early this morning I received my first review copy from Luna. I was surprised how it depressed me...I mean, do I get down when I receive Other Books? Do I get wistful when a someone else's book comes to me? No and no. And I have more "against" them, if you can call it that, since the person who rejected me at the first was not nearly as kind as the one at Luna, and the other never, ever emailed me, not even a "P*** off" letter. Yet, holding my brand new arc, weighing it in my hands, I, who love to stab myself in as many ways as possible couldn't help but think that was the way my book would have looked. The up side is that it's a Mercedes Lackey book, and I'm rather fond of her. I'm really looking forward to the line up...the next book's going to be by Catherine Asaro, and the one after that, Sarah Zettel. So that's cool. I've liked their books, and really look forward to reading them and reviewing them. Still, in the back of my head, there's this girl. She's older, tougher, and she chain smokes. And she says to me, how could you ever have expected to get published with Luna with all these stars already on their list? They still have Balancing Act, tho. This is said by the girl I'd rather be, skinnier than I am, a little more pre-Raphaelite. The chain smoker takes a long pull on her cigarette, and smirks. She doesn't have to say "For what good it does you." If I had a mood thingy on my blog, it would say Cindy (and all her personalities) is Bummed. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 12:35 PM 0 comments |
