>I took a gamble this weekend and e-mailed Susan Litman’s office again, asking about A Suitable Wife (the full manuscript she requested). There seems to be an agreement in the writing/publishing world that a lot of editorial offices slow down considerably during the holidays. And since my manuscript has been in their offices for 11 months today, I figured it was time to get an update before the holidays hit.

My last inquiry, in late June, had a favorable response – that my manuscript was under consideration. Here’s hoping they found it and actually knew that to be fact. LOL Frankly, with others hearing back much sooner, I’m not sure what to think.

As usual, a part of me wants to get “The Call” and a part of me is reluctant to get my hopes up. This writing business is hard on the nerves. Good thing I’m not really a nail-biter. 🙂
