Also, remember that novel I've been promising forever? It's finished. My top-choice agent doesn't like it enough to represent it (but he did like it enough to take me out to breakfast and tell me to send him more stuff).
I keep thinking I'll just set it aside and let it be an unsold manuscript. But then the little voice in my head that falls in love with all my characters starts insisting that this novel is too good for that, that it shouldn't languish, that it should head out into the world even if I'm not yet writing NYT Bestselling manuscripts. As in, perhaps I should send it around to a couple of publishers after all.
Still mulling it over. Is this an early manuscript that should die, or is it a genius manuscript waiting for the right fan base? What to do, what to do?
