Three times a charm??

I received an answer from Harlequin about the novel I had revised for them.  While I still did not get my “Yes, you are a genius” answer that I was hoping for, I did get a positive response.  The editor liked the story, and if I make some more specific changes, she is willing to look at the book AGAIN!

This is exciting!  It would have been incredibly easy for them to say, “Nope, not up to snuff.  Declined.”  However, there must have been enough good in the book for them to be willing to look at the book again.

So my work is cut out for me.
