Looking back, I appreciate the editor from Tor who in one conversation told me: 1- They weren’t picking up my new series 2- They weren’t going to publish the last book of The Long Price Quatret in paperback 3- He was sure that someday I’d write a mature book. Dinner anecdote for life, that.

Wow. The Long Price Quartet remains one of my favorite fantasy series. And your career recovered nicely. But how utterly utterly vile.

Here’s my little bit of wisdom for new writers coming up: everyone who makes it as an artist or writer has their career shot out from under them a time or two.

That was the editor who was handing out his business cards to hopeful new writers and, as I approached, said "why do you think you're important enough for my business card?" "I don't want your card, I'm here for my friend." Ended with him throwing a card at me as I walked away.

That was the editor that asked me to send my first novel to him *behind my agent's back* because "hey, he doesn't have to know" and got flustered and argued with me because I said "actually, no, I think he does."
