It doesn't get easier, does it? My last book had four full manuscript requests, none of which ended in representation for various reasons. I've since written something else, less commercial probably, more quirky definitely; I've not subbed it a great deal and I was quite surprised to get a manuscript request for this one. It's been ten weeks now and I'm bracing myself; all the success stories I've read seem to involve lightening response to full manuscripts. I've started on something else but I feel somewhat in the doldrums with my writing becoming more idiosyncratic by the day. It probably doesn't help that I am reading Charles Dickens and rediscovering what an amazing writer he was. Please come and cheer me up while I wait for another slice of doom!
