Slush was ignorant, dumb and ugly. It was also big and could crush a small city with one simple, swift kick to the block.<BR/>The three manuscripts were quiet and could barely breathe. Months of smothering left them full of faint and atrophy but after they were pulled by editors they were still breathing. Eventually, the editors could hear them whimpering, "I am here...I am here, please don't give up on me." The editors pulled those nearly comatose mss from the slush and rushed them onto editor stretchers where they resuscitated them from splintered words to rejuvenated greatness, and created new and meaningful life.<BR/>The three mss grew up and left the publisher with a sense of purpose. One became a bestseller and sank into the IP cushion, one got a Caldecott and teaches his adoring students at RISD (I am so major)and the last married a fireman and continues to write for love...and has finally found fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-66870249832017941642007-06-19T16:31:00.000-04:002007-06-19T16:31:00.000-04:00Funny.

It counters the depression that comes from hearing about huge slush piles ready to crush small towns, when you think about what chance your latest submission has in getting noticed. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-10684036378597702202007-06-19T15:16:00.000-04:002007-06-19T15:16:00.000-04:00So, by omission, you're saying that you're open to...So, by omission, you're saying that you're open to a good "dead mother" story?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-17808725185645222802007-06-19T12:26:00.000-04:002007-06-19T12:26:00.000-04:00D'oh!
