It absolutely counts! All stages of trench-ing count as far as I’m concerned, including prep!

Thank you! It really, really is!

Nicely done! Consider me impressed! Eh, I'm still in the query trenches with manuscript number 4. Requests on every one, but no offers of rep as of now. I'm hoping this is the one. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Pleasure to meet you! I’m in the same boat. Feel free to hit me up any time you want to chat about anything writing!

I’m still trying on the migraron! It’s so hard to find folks on here!

This is fabulous!

An awful lot of 'great, but not a great fit for the market'. But c'est la vie when breaking into publishing.

I, too, have been in the trenches for a bit. Since 2020. Multiple WIPs, several 'oh so close's, and no cigars (yet). Onward and upward, my friend, onward and upward.

I appreciate the luck! I'm querying the MS before this one with mixed results so far (but when are they not?). I've got my fingers crossed!

Thanks! I'm definitely not in the market for it at the moment, but I'll let ya know if that changes!

Thank you! It's a fun story so far!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!
