So...
The lovely editors at the Mills & Boon Medical line sent me my rejection this evening. It was nice that it wasn’t a form letter and I was even sane enough to absorb some of their wisdom during the first read through (usually I just get the "NO!").

The problem: the conflict didn’t revolve around the medical aspect enough (that’ll teach me for boundary pushing). It always seems to come back to conflict for me. I honestly can’t decide if all that I’m reading on the topic is making the situation better or worse. I’m leaning toward the latter...
I don’t believe I’ll be entering New Voices. I just don’t think I’m up to the calibre they’re look for yet and I like to think I’m sparing some poor soul from trudging through another entry in the first round, and possibly some embarrassment on my own behalf.
I’ll still be here cheering the rest of you on though and reading madly (...while researching conflict).
