Another weekend, another "decline" from an agent. At least this one's form letter was a bit less brusque about it. I'll take a few days to regroup before tackling the next bunch of letters-OUT because it includes at least one prospect that I think I can make a very targeted pitch to because of the materials she seems to handle, and I want to give that one some serious thought. Still, the process is very draining, especially when I'm already sliding into hibernation-mode from the weather and the dark. Manuscript-sample is also currently in slushpile at a publisher, so there's that, although I'd be very surprised to hear about that before the holidays are out.
This was supposed to be a busy social week, what with the LJ meetup moved to the Tuesday and knitting meetup in its usual slot on the Wednesday; but because of the move, LJ meetup was unusually subdued and broke up after a little more than an hour. (2 of 3 for hat adoptions this session.) And then, trying to knock out a sinus-related toothache to get myself into a shape where I could attend the knitting meetup, I ended up taking one too many aspirin along the way and as I was scurrying about the house collecting my outdoor clothes I suddenly found myself running off to say "hello again" to a bowl of bean soup. Although I did feel a little better after that, it seemed like a good idea to put myself to bed rather than try for the meetup, since by then I wouldn't have been able to get downtown in time. {sigh} I had a choice of several meetups convening on Thursday, but after Wednesday's performance I decided it would probably be better to give the soggy night a miss. Probably won't get out tonight, either, despite a prospect or two. I love this city, but the weather doesn't love me back...
