Writer Tamago

This changes nothing. I still think they'd be cool for representation.

Here's the letter I received this morning from Becca Stumpf.

Thank you for giving me and Prospect Agency the opportunity to consider SUBSTANCE OF SHADOWS. You are clearly a talented writer, but I'm afraid this story just didn't grab me enough to offer representation. Of course, this is only one opinion in a highly subjective field, and another agent
will likely feel differently; I encourage you to solicit additional
opinions.

It contains the usual ending of course, but it's nice to have an agent re-inforce the quality of your work. I'm not insecure about that, but it's nice to hear it.

Of course, I'll keep sending it out, but I do keep getting the message. It's not you, Catherine. It's the book. Cool. However, until I have time to whip out another book, might as well keep giving it a go!

So, my Russian lesson was cancelled today, regrettably. Olga's mother fell and they're at the emergency room. I'm killing just a wee bit of time until the bank opens, and then I will use the extra time at work appropriately.

Hope you all have good weekends.

Catherine
