So, the love came back. Some chapters were re-jigged,
some words went off to that sad land of The Deleted, the protagonist became
more proactive and I was happier. The breakdown therapy worked - for a while. I was
ready to face another round of submissions, but blimey - don’t they take
time? That dreaded letter, that tortuous synopsis, the varying number of
opening chapters or pages agents want. Twelve submissions down and I’m not sure
if I can face anymore. The doubts have already come flooding back in with the
first (next day) rejection. The rest of the disembodied chapters are still out
there and while I’m waiting for them to come flying back in with their tails
between their legs, it feels like a good time to move on, draw a line and run
away with some new characters who’ve been flirting with me for a while. The
promise of new, exciting locations and situations is too much to resist. I
might return, but who knows? For now off I'm off on new adventures.
