In between SMOKE marketing and jumping in at the last minute to help out Neil Kleid with this week's BIG POND column, I have gotten the square root of fuckall done on my French sci-fi story. This is killing me, because I am on Page 33 and I have so much momentum built up and now the explosions start and oh god I have to go write it RIGHT NOW. Still, BIG POND, all about pitching: "Most importantly, your first pitch to an editor is nothing but an opening salvo in a long-term conversation. Often it will take you three or more rejected pitches before you understand what the editor is really looking for. Listen to what the editor says, and learn from it. You must not get all bent out of shape if your masterpiece dream story gets dinged first-off. Chances are, it will. You're a writer. Go out to the pub, bitch to your friends about how nobody recognizes your genius, then go the fuck home and write something else. Good thing you're only sending these pitches as 200 word springboards, isn't it?"
