Need to Wallow

About a half hour ago, I got the news from my agent that my editor rejected my most recent military SF proposal.  I'm headed back to the drawing board to try again, but I needed to take a moment to wallow a bit.

Wah!

The good news is that I'm not sure how much more of this I can stand.  I say this is good news because it's time for me to think about other ways I can make money writing.  My dear friend naomikritzer  suggested that I consider serializing the sequel to Precint 13 with a tip jar, with the ultimate goal of turning whatever comes of that into an e-book.  I've wanted to do this project since the proposals for that were rejected, and this might be a good way for me to get over the hump of feeling like the effort and time put into writing something as large as a novel is worth it.  Also writing on the fly like this is one of the things I enjoy about fan fic writing.  Perhaps people will feel free to comment and whatnot along the process and make the whole project fun and interactive.  I'm going to look into setting up a tip jar (I already have a paypal account) and get started on that right away.  I'm thinking of running that through this blog and possibly my under-used Tate Hallaway blog as well.

I don't know, but I have to do something. 

Wish me luck.
