Mister????

Okay, the good news is an editor from Tor wrote me a quick email and it wasn't a rejection!!!!!  The neutral news is that she asked me to resubmit my synopsis as an rtf because it didn't go through.  But the bad news is she addressed me as "Mr. Mahaffey."  OUCH!!!

Don't get me wrong, I know "Montgomery" is not exactly the most feminine sounding name in the world - thus the mistake is understandable.  I know that I met this editor at a conference where she met MANY writers.  In our consultation, she did say this was her first conference and I didn't see her taking notes - like some do.  The mistake's understandable, but it still would have been nice if she had remembered I'm a woman.    

So ends my little rant for the day....
