But on the minus side, I got an e-mail from my agent with my first rejection. :( It seems like a mismatch between my book and this particular editor, which at least leaves hope that a different editor will think it's exactly her cup of tea.
The first editor apparently kept waiting for the book to turn into an action-adventure. I'm Canadian. I'm not entirely sure that 'action-adventure' is in our cultural vocabulary.
Unless the Canadians in question write screenplays. What? I'm entitled to my crazy-ass opinions. Leave me alone.
It is perhaps relevant that my agent has Canadians working for him.
Anyway, I'm pleased with myself that I managed to work through my sheer, unremitting terror at writing another novel and wrote one whole scene! Go, me. Unfortunately I kind of hate it, but I do have an idea to make it better. I hope. Look for it by Friday on

In other--but also sucky--news entirely ( spoilers for the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica ahead )I'd love it if the upcoming Stargate: Universe show reversed this trend, but I doubt it's going to happen, alas. At least there's Torchwood.
