Oh w...My post actually ended up kind of incoherent. Oh well... but it was based on loop discussion. Someone was saying their agent often cries when she gets rejections on her client's work and we should remember (when they're rejecting us) that they often get way more rejections than we do, because they're submitting more manuscripts and proposals than we are... <BR/><BR/>They are people. They have feelings. They make mistakes. And their opinions may be educated/professional opinions, but they're still opinions.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-39752378304690682302007-07-19T14:19:00.000-04:002007-07-19T14:19:00.000-04:00It's hard to have perspective when dealing with yo...It's hard to have perspective when dealing with your book, but perhaps that's part of becoming a professional writer. <BR/>Learning to seperate a little from our work.<BR/>Hard, but great blog Maureen.

I think I might be a little coo -coo. <BR/><BR/>You know perspective is the first thing that gets thrown out the window as soon as we step out of the vacuum. And considering the number of stories we've heard lately about HUGE agents making not so smart decisions I think everyone needs a bit more perspective regarding editors and agents.Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.com
