OMG. The amount of ghosting. My favorite was when my manuscript for The Golden Ticket was on submission, an editor sat on a revise-and-resubmit (that she asked for!!!) for three months and then, only after numerous unanswered nudges from my agent, said, "Gosh, I haven't read it yet and that's probably a sign that I should pass." Which I guess is a rejection? But what would have happened if my agent hadn't kept nudging? Pretty sure I'd still be waiting. Sigh.
