Well, rollercoaster weekend for The Rake. The fixed stuff seems to be staying fixed, but then the stuff that comes after seems boring. Arghh! So first I deleted an entire chapter and then I realized I needed it for something, so I put it back and deleted all the really boring parts and moved it to a different spot where I think it will have a happier home. Sigh.

Also an agent with a snooty web presence rejected me. A form letter, too. Not enthusiastic, blah blah blah. Subjective opinions, blah blah blah. And I thought, well that sucks, but at least I don't have to worry about them anymore. See first paragraph. Probably just as well, though as I recall, I went through this business with The Spare and Lord Ruin. Both times I thought, oh, geez, this can't be fixed, it's too horrible and my career is over. But I did fix both of them. Good old desperation. That's the key. Which kind of sucks when you think about it.
