Chronicle Books– note: each bin is known to hold up to 100 picture book manuscripts. (My middle grade novel is in there somewhere. Can you find it?)

It’s kind of sad to see dreams relegated to the bottom of a bin – forgotten or abandoned until the annual bonfire 🙁

Oh dear God. Just think of all that work, all the hopes and dreams, the brow-furrowing, lip-chewing, stay-up-all-night angst…
Glad I don’t have to read through all those, though. And it is a mercy that most people who provided the tinder will never learn what happened to it.

I used to file actor’s resumes for a professional theater; this reminded me of that. I’m glad I don’t have to file them all!

Yeah, it really puts things into perspective, doesn’t it?
The bonfire one was a bit disturbing.
I guess you can also look at it when you do get a personal rejection, you know they effort that the editor took to make it.

I love those pictures. It reminds me to register for an SCBWI conference!
And I missed your Christmas list, which I also love. Nobody ever gets me any of those things *sniff*. Although my DH always gets me a stick drive for backups.
