Some days you’re the windshield. Some days you’re the bug. Last night, I was the bug. Here’s why:

“Hi Annette,
Thanks so much for letting me take a look at your submission
BONE GIRL. I love a good horse story, so I was interested in reading it.
Unfortunately the writing is just not quite there for me, so I’m afraid I’m
going to have to pass.
Best of luck finding a home for your project, and
thanks again for sending it my way.
Sincerely,
Taylor” (editor at Chronicle Books)
