Well, another week and another (extremely nice) rejection. I can't say I'm surprised but there you go! But if no agent is wants to take it on, what should I do with it? More specifically,is it possible to undermine any attempts to set myself as an author up with my Symbiots francise. The problem is I have limited time (duh) and it takes at least a year to knock out a novel. Fortunately, my second Symbiot novel is chugging along now but say I published Seeker of the Silver Arms followed by Symbiot Vengence, what would I do then? I could write the sequel to Seeker but if I did would that not leave it too long before I was able to publish the last in my Symbiot trilogy? Two to three years is a long time and interest could easily be lost. So perhaps I should stick Seeker on the back burner for now, assuming that no agents were interested. Perhaps I could even play the long game with it and send it to some agents which claim to take six months to a year to mull it over? Plenty to think about anyway!
