Dear friends -
Finally, I've heard from the editor at Tor who's had one of my novels for, what? Three years now? He wants to see the rest of another novel, part of which I sent him a couple months ago. Wants to do that one first if he likes it because the first one is "too long and difficult for a first novel," in his opinion.
Well, heck, that's exciting compared to no movement, eh? I better finish it and clean it up! Wish me luck.
Chris

Ah, for the days when first novels could be long and difficult... but having it come second really wouldn't be so bad, either!

True -- if the first one does reasonably well (this assumes he buys either, of course), people might be more able or interested in a tougher read. Hm, thanks for the uplifting thought!

Just out of curiousity, when did editors start reviewing "parts of a novel"? I was always under the impression that they wanted the whole thing.

Usually, editors want "three chapters and an outline," though if they ask for something they usually want you to send the whole shebang. Because he's been sitting on the previous novel (Transcendence) for so long, I didn't want to send all of Empire Ship unless he was excited about seeing it (read: Willing to get back soon).

I still owe you for that one, sucka!
Hey, another reason to get on LJ: You can see my locked posts -- things only specific people can see. Much of what I post is thus locked. Of course, you'll have to be nice for me to allow you to read 'em >g<

I kinda miss the good old days of challenging (nay, demanding) first novels.
