*Rejection, Chimaeraserials, 6/18 (RT: 5 months)
I notice there is another review up for Legacy of Wolves at amazon - 5 out of 5 stars! I also notice this is the reviewer's first review - I'm honored that he took the time to comment on my story, since that's the only way I know a) that it's being read, and b) what I can do better. So if you've read the book, it would be great if you could take a few minutes and write up a review. I don't know if the WotC editors really take those into account, but it can't hurt. :)
(I must also point out that, AFAIK, I don't think I actually know this person, so it's not as if I bribed some friend of mine to post a good review...though, now that I think about it, that's not a bad idea...heh.)
I also broke 10,000 on the sales rankings (for a few hours, anyway). I have no idea what that means, but I think it's a good sign. :)
Everything Else
After a full month of truly awful insomnia that doesn't respond to OTC sleeping aids (I got two hours of sleep the night before last; I've been averaging 4 to 5), I'm finally breaking down and going to the doctor to get something stronger. I can't write when I'm not sleeping - I'm like the crew of the Enterprise in that ST:TNG episode ("Night Terrors") where they were all going crazy because they couldn't sleep, and hence couldn't dream.
"Eyes in the dark. One moon circles."
Save yourselves, aliens. I'm getting some Ambien. Heh.
EDIT: Turns out I do sort of know the reviewer - he posts over on the Online Eberron forums, where most of the Eberron authors are available to answer reader questions. Seems like mine's the only Eberron book he's liked enough to review, though. :)
