Indecisive...

[partly]

Many months ago, last November to be exact, I submitted a book proposal to Stargate novels. I got a reply saying they got the proposal, and another one (in May) saying that they were starting to send out (rejection) notices. It said: "If you don't receive an email within the next 24 hours, it simply means we haven't read your submission yet (so there's still a chance it could be good news). Please be patient."

I haven't received anything yet. Should I write and inquire? Should I just sit tight and wait? I'm not patient right now. I was flattered at first -- not rejected yet, this is good. Now I'm paranoid. Did they send me a "not what we're looking for" and I just missed it?

I am manic, I know. I've gotten other stuff from them, including announcements about the books they are publishing.

They said "be patient". How much more patient should I be? I used to find the uncertainty cool -- as long as I don't know, there is always the possibility that I still have a chance. Now. Well, now, I'm just want to know.

I haven't gotten anything either, nor has anyone else I know who has a proposal in. And you're not the first to reach critical paranoia mass on LJ, either, if that helps any. *wry g*

I'm taking them at their word and assuming they're simply not there yet. And suspecting more than slightly that they could be having problems getting communication back from MGM. Since the Sony buyout, I just have no faith in any kind of licensing going smoothly.

Actually, it does. Not having a job and not being able to write anything else is probably making me more manic. *sigh*

It's good to know that I'm not alone, actually.

Misery loves company and all that. *grin*
