The tenor of the responses also has helped explain to me why most editors dealing with unpublished writers (such as myself) are generally aloof and inaccessible. There's no excuse for the childish behavior in these comments. <BR/><BR/>On the plus side, it's probably nice in some small way for the editors to know that their work has such a passionate following.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-47760286131011451772009-03-28T15:02:00.000-04:002009-03-28T15:02:00.000-04:00This process--particularly the chirpy, faux-sympat...This process--particularly the chirpy, faux-sympathetic mass rejection--has really left a bad taste in my mouth. You know, those of us whose proposals were rejected represent a block of over 500 people who can collectively ignore 33 1/3 from here on out and tell friends to do the same. Might not totally counter the Colbert bump, but it's something. Get the small handful of books in the series that aren't overwrought and embarrassing at the library or read them in the store. The few that I owned--LATA, Bee Thousand, Let It Be--are literally sitting in the trash right now.<BR/><BR/>*cue "coward for posting anon" comments*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-25698847385070386652009-03-27T22:42:00.000-04:002009-03-27T22:42:00.000-04:00I think the final list is going to play it really ...I think the final list is going to play it really safe: established, well-respected bands with a decent following.

You're all worthy writers and if we don't make it this time, there's always the next seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, for now there is nothing we can do but wait. I suggest we spend the next 12 hours away from this blog and our inboxes and put our minds else where. Watch a movie. Roll a J. Call a friend and talk about anything but this.
