Somebody remind me why I do this, again...?

[desperance]

God, I'm depressed.

Last night's news we know, that I have been orphaned at Del Rey. Today's news is that we have not sold [another series] to [another publisher], despite crazy enthusiasm at editorial; sales & marketing put the kibosh on it. I hate that in principle as well as practice, that the publishing decisions are effectively made by the marketing people; it's an absolute recipe for more-of-the-same mediocrity, and an absolute slam of the door to my own career.

And yes, I know, other publishers do also exist; and it is of course vainglorious to get tantrummy over one rejection; but if we couldn't swing it past this one, I see little to no hope elsewhere.
