More Mail...

Yesterday was an interesting mail day. Along with the Men's Wearhouse card (see post below), I also got a letter from a publisher! How exciting, right? I sent a book proposal to them a month ago, and have been waiting to hear back. Guess what the letter said?

"We've received your manuscript. Manuscript reviews take a long time. We'll get back to you."

On the one hand, I appreciate them acknowledging receipt of the manuscript. On the other hand, they've had it for a month, and they are just now sending me a note. The timeline of traditional publishing continues to frustrate and amaze me. Of course, if they agree to publish it, I'll be thrilled...
