I am having such a cruddy day. The Rake going well. I have one chapter to re-write from GML's pov and I'm thinking of making OC seem really jovial and nice only, of course, he's not at all. Everyone likes him. But most of it reads really, really well and I'm pleased. Asked Kate if she wanted to see the revised chapters and she said she'd love to (is that because she read the others and was ready to decline?) I think I have issues. arghh! or is that sigh? That's the kind of day I'm having.

On the other project, paranoia has set in. Still working on it though. Editor emailed me today asking a kind of weird question and saying that something else was taking a little longer to wrap up so he hasn't called me yet. So, people have lives and jobs and other projects having nothing to do with me, I realize this. But I have a very horrible depressing scenario all worked out, involving him using the SASE and rejecting me.

Haven't been to the POB yet so I don't know if the last two agents have rejected me yet. Then, I'll probably just give the agent thing a rest, because it's too depressing. On the other hand, I've gotten to read The Rake several days running without needing to gut chapters and re-order and, most of all, I'm enjoying reading it because it's coming together. So, really, things could be much worse. Unless paragraph 2 above comes true. Then my career is over.
