One moment, the foobs were in a teal-and-lavender monstrosity of a wedding, and the next they were propelled back into the past. But it was a different version of the past. What happened?

Ahhhhhhhh, yessssss. Everything is 'unfair' in her eyes, isn't it? She comes across as a spoiled, nasty, shortsighted nine-year-old stamping her feet and screaming because Mommy and Daddy won't hand over a toy she waaants. It doesn't matter that she has more stuff and a better life than most people, the huffy loon wants even more and pouts if she doesn't get it.
Yup. Fair = Elly gets what she wants. Unfair = she doesn't. Not more mature than her retconned-to-pre-school son.
Her what-ever age Mike son doesn't have the same ability to do damage, though. Since the mean publishers won't publish her Tome of Glurge and she can't Pattersnarf and stay thin, that tells me that she'll put extra emphasis on sterilizing John. Too bad for her that she's too dim to see that she's the problem.

That's the crux of it, isn't it? It's like moving to a new city to try getting away from yourself.
News for Elly: Even GOOD authors initially get loads of rejections. They don't whine that it's "unfair", they try harder.

You mean they exhibit maturity? ;)
Love the neutral-speak of the letter. Also love the excuses that Elly throws out. Too early, indeed!

She needs to read between the lines to get the real message of "your books sucks!" ;)

She figures that since Mike was able to get Stone Season published in the 2000s, it must be a timing issue.

That is true. While I haven't been published, I have had some friendly rejections. Usually the "your book sucks" rejections are the form letters, while the "friendly rejections" have feedback and suggestions for improvements.
(and no, I'm not published...usually, I do some efforts, only to have real life interrupt.)

Exactly.

I am, but nothing on the level of a novel with a $25K advance--just academic articles. :)
