    He said no to a reasonable offer because he thought he could get a vastly greater sum of money.

      I appreciate legitimate criticism and advice, just not negativity for negativity's sake.
      Honestly, I have seen a minimal amount of that. It seems to me that people have responded in good faith to your question, but you don't like the answer. But, if you come back in three months and say, hey, I just sold my book to that company that requested it, my response will be "awesome and congratulations!"

          ^^^ Yeah, my "partner" once did that to an option offer, lo' those many years ago. "Option? No, we want the the full commitment up front." Boy did that throw the ice down their (Uni's) pants.

            Gauchita,

            I took what you said with a grain of salt, but started writing my period piece anyway. It's a true story that I'm really passionate about--it's a story that I really want to tell, and I'm enjoying writing it. If I can finish it in time, maybe I'll enter it in Nicholl--more dramas win than other genres there.

                        That's a fantastic outcome. Not many threads here start with "I'm published and nobody will rep me," and end with "I signed with Zero Gravity Management." Excellent.
