It's been awhile, and it's hard to know how long is "long" and when it's okay to ask for a status update without seeming impatient and annoying. You've helped put things in more perspective for me.Lisa Iriartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746425619147737744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-67642646112972246682009-07-29T15:48:26.939-04:002009-07-29T15:48:26.939-04:00Thanks for the explanation, Joshua--it's much ...Thanks for the explanation, Joshua--it's much appreciated. This post combined with your last post have been very illuminating. Having a full time job of my own now, I'm amazed at the lengths agents and editors go to in order to find or make time for new material. Just reading for pleasure takes me much longer now than it did when I was only in college and working full time, and the speed of my writing has taken a hit, too. In the end, I don't really believe 6 months is an outlandish time to wait for a response for something--even a year these days isn't eyebrow-raising. Just in my limited experience, I've had an editor take something like 28 months to get back to me on a full submission. And Brandon of course likes to talk about the 18 months he waited for the response to Elantris.<br /><br />Anyway--nothing much to add to my response except to say thank you and you have my sympathies.brycemoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551239249927256935noreply@blogger.com
