Looking back, I appreciate the editor from Tor who in one conversation told me:
1- They weren’t picking up my new series
2- They weren’t going to publish the last book of The Long Price Quatret in paperback
3- He was sure that someday I’d write a mature book.
Dinner anecdote for life, that.
Here’s my little bit of wisdom for new writers coming up: everyone who makes it as an artist or writer has their career shot out from under them a time or two.
