Como Conseguir O Rainbow Puffle Em 2010

I'm still here! Looking ahead and keeping the mood

just wanted to inform everyone that I'm here without giving up, keeping the mood and hope)


I did not write much these days because I do not have anything important to say, but I embarked on my odyssey, sailing the seas publishers and others recently are giving me new hope: the agency.
I'm still waiting response from two publishers who are evaluating my manuscript from a little over a month, but also last week I asked the manuscript two important agencies, one by e-mail and other postal mail. The first asked me work a week after sending the proposal, the second, the same day he sent it. Both last week.
Yesterday I received an e-mail from one of them reported that they had received the manuscript and began to read. They said I have very good style and the theme of my novel has a lot of interest at this time and asked me to give them some information about the consequences I have in mind to continue the novel.
promised me something in a few days: D

The truth is that it sounded very good, but I am still trying not to get my hopes for good measure. Withhold the celebration for when you see a contract signed, you'd better be careful to let fly the illusion and then crashing;).

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

editorial Help Group rejects European

guess many and you will be aware, as are several blogs that echoed the news, but if there is anyone who does not know and can lend a hand .. .

Raúl Gonzálvez , editor SWAT Group, recently published a statement in which he asks readers to help save the aforementioned editorial. SWAT
es una de las pocas editoriales españolas que apuesta por los escritores noveles españoles de género fantástico, por lo que sería una verdadera lástima que tuviéramos que decirle adiós.

Además, y lo que es más importante, su desaparición supondría ¡ una editorial menos a la que poder incordiar con mis propuestas y una oportunidad menos de ver mis libros publicados ! No escribo literatura fantástica pero ¿¿y si en un futuro me da por escribirla?? No sería justo que Grupo Ajec no pudiera disponer de la oportunidad de valorar mis manuscritos ¿a que no? ;)

The Tiger In The Pit And The Pendulum

Amala and Kamala: The wild child ... Myth or reality?

The best-known and children-wolf has been, probably, the Amala and Kamala, found near Midnapur, India, the fall of 1920.

The inhabitants of the region referred to as a monstrous creature, the Manush-Bagha (human spirit), and told the story to a browser that night was in town, the Rev. Sigh. On October 8, 1920, the Reverend into the jungle, and while he saw lurking after the wolf and cubs, leaving the shelter for two young human. Nine days later, the girls were caught with the cubs, for which we had to kill before the wolf that tried to defend her litter.

Rev. girls gave the host had told him the story and the presence of these creatures feared, however, drove the villagers, who fled the scene. Some days after this, the Rev. picked up the girls and took them to his orphanage.

may not be biological sisters, and they were welcomed by the pack on two different occasions. Amala never walk upright, Kamala only very late. In addition, these girls had an ease uncommon to interact with animals, dogs need to be eating well, and had high auditory acuity, a developed sense of smell and poor eyesight, adapted to darkness. They slept huddled together, howling, and biting their clothes removed to put them.

A year after arriving at the orphanage died Amala, counting approximately two and half years old, Kamala died about nine years, two deaths caused by a kidney problem.

SWAT received so far

This weekend I came to make a collection of rejects received , because at the moment are the most numerous responses from which I have received from publishers and agencies and there are some quite interesting.

omit the source of rejection at the moment so I will identify a number allotting and whether it is a publishing house or agency.

Let's begin:

Editorial 1:
After receiving my proposal I call the script because, they say, I have really enjoyed the chapters read and history. Even call me by phone to confirm which direction I have to send the work and ensure that I will provide a response before the end of January.
Resolution
not contact me again and do not respond to either e-mails that I send in February.


Editorial 2:
After receiving my manuscript proposal calling me and promise me something in a couple of months. Resolution
few weeks after the due deadline phoning me to tell me that they loved the work, which is very well written, you can see I've done a lot and everyone in publishing them liked. Unfortunately
already have the catalog publications closed in 2011 and have no time to work on my novel and let it perfect.
recommend that I look for an agent to help me and invite me to send it again when fully polished.


Editorial 3:
After reading my proposal "with great love" I am informed that although the proposal they like, for the moment do not publish books theme of mine, maybe in the near future.


Editorial 4:
have closed the recruitment of new works by now.

Editorial 5:
not hire new works until 2013

Editorial 6:
After reading the proposal I am told that, although they seems very interesting and very well written, my work does not fit their current catalog.


Editorial 7:
The proposal seems "very tempting" but they are an editorial small and now have no time to read the manuscript and give me an answer soon. I invite you to send the work later if I have no luck with any other publisher.

Agency 1:
After reading proposal, attached me by e-mail your letter of rejection rate. The director told me in an e-mail is a good proposal and I do not give up.

Agency 2:
After sending the proposal received an e-mail informing me that they receive unsolicited manuscripts. I invite you to request a report Reading, on payment of 100 euros. I represent if the report is favorable and are interested in the work.

Agency 3:
shipping the same day the proposal respond that I read my manuscript on payment of 100 euros.

And that's all for now guys. What there are some very funny rejections? My favorites are the "yes but no" and "we read it for 100 euros." In the latter case, my response is that of the editorial: "Yes, but not" ... Did
100 euros answer something symbolic? For all asking 100 euros, no more no less.

Finally, we end up with a good taste:

There are still two publishers who are evaluating my manuscript, two agencies have not yet asked for money and I are reading the proposal and seven publishers have not answered me.

continue thinking positive:)
