I love my novel...

I've printed out my chapters as I complete them and I re-read them before I go to sleep at night. My daughter is reading one chapter a day and giggling at the right moments.

Heaven help me, I feel amazing

Quick, someone send me a reject slip or something to get my head on straight.... OR AT LEAST TELL ME I'M NOT ALONE OUT HERE.!!

:)

I'm also the worst at proof reading for typo's before hitting the 'post comment' button. ----blush----

I couldn't write you a rejection letter, but doing a google I can give you a copy of one sent to Ursula K. Le Guin...(author of one of my most favorite novels "The Wizard of Earthsea")

Dear Miss Kidd,

Ursula K. Le Guin writes extremely well, but I'm sorry to have to say that on the basis of that one highly distinguishing quality alone I cannot make you an offer for the novel. The book is so endlessly complicated by details of reference and information, the interim legends become so much of a nuisance despite their relevance, that the very action of the story seems to be to become hopelessly bogged down and the book, eventually, unreadable. The whole is so dry and airless, so lacking in pace, that whatever drama and excitement the novel might have had is entirely dissipated by what does seem, a great deal of the time, to be extraneous material. My thanks nonetheless for having thought of us. The manuscript of The Left Hand of Darkness is returned herewith. Yours sincerely,

The Editor

21 June, 1968
