My first rejection
Unfortunately the publisher I sent parts of the manuscript to have passed, with this pleasant (and rather quick) letter to that effect:
Thank you for sharing your work, The Grand Adventures of Daisy Donnie, with us.
Unfortunately, this manuscript is not quite what we are looking for at this time.
Please keep us in mind for any future submissions.
One down… many to go! They were great though, didn’t keep me waiting for very long. I expect it wasn’t Science-Fictionny enough for them, which is true – Sci-Fi is only one aspect of the stories. But onward and upward as they say!

There are a few ways to describe one's self when effectively trying to mask the fact that you're a complete hermit and spend your entire existence behind a computer screen sipping hot tea and eating cakes. The first would be to suggest that you're somewhat introverted and avoid coffee. Another might be to suggest you're a fan of Apple Macs but are cutting-down from the 6 you used to have to an even two (Macbook and Mac Mini in turn). Finally you might choose to say that despite the massive pay-drop, this writing thing is quite a lark isn't it? Not to mention enjoying the creative life a lot more than mindless tedium in corporate jobs, working the 40 hour week to the drumming of endless meetings and political intrigue that would have made Machiavelli blush and hand his pen over to the corporate slugs that run companies these days. Enough said really.
