I may be losing a few minor skirmishes along the way but I still feel confident that I’ll eventually win this noble war of attrition. The laws of physics - if not time and statistics - are on my side. And as long as there are still agents and publishers out there who have not yet felt the subtle cosh of my approach, my Bullet A Day campaign continues. This week another three submission packages have been programmed, primed and are, at this very moment, winging silently through the night towards their unsuspecting targets. I’ve now stopped kissing the packages before I post them.
