Another rejection, but I'm not too bummed about it

Got a rejection for Jenny Rappaport in the mail today. Ah, well. I'm not bummed because I figured I'd give Samhain a try with TLS so I'll just wait and see what they think. I think I'll go the e-book route with TLS and Battle of the Mages and then try for an agent with the YA Novel I'm plotting, The Summer Sorceress.
So now I'm still writing away on BOTM and waiting to hear back on TLS. I'm kinda slowing down with Battle of the Mages I think because I'm getting close to that dreaded Black Moment. I hate tearing a hero and heroine I've come to care about apart, but I do know it's necessary for them to truly appreciate the happy ending I give them. Plus, with this one, my hero, Olorin has some prejudices to oversome before he can live happily ever after with my heroine. I'll get him there though :-).
We've had some newbies join on to the romance critters critique group. I've been enjoying reading the work but some of it is really rough around the edges. But I dish out my advice and suggestions and the girls have been grateful. Hard to believe five years ago I was a new author myself ... no idea on POV, or passive sentences, or showing versus telling. Now I think I've gotten the hang of those mechanics and maybe, just maybe I'll start selling more of my stories because of it :-).
