Aaahhh…. sad!
Wishing you lots of grace, patience, and wisdom to find your way out of the valley. Hopefully, you’ll emerge stronger and more determined.

Ilana,
Most of us can’t even imagine writing one novel, let alone the two fiction books you have already drafted. So, you are really in a very unique league already. And I certainly can’t imagine having my labor of love critiqued by someone else.
I love how you talk about not becoming a victim and blaming the editors for their lack of good taste. That is such a mature response and that is why you are banging your head instead of cutting off theirs! I think you have to give yourself kudos for not going there!
I wish I had a magic 8 ball that could predict the future but alas the magic 8 ball is out of commission and heck, I don’t have a clue! The only advice I have is the AA like mantra, “Take it one day at a time.” I have to believe that the road eventually reveals itself, but sometimes its a long snowstorm before it clears.
Hang in there!
Judy

Keep the faith. Really.
