#writingcommunity, when do you decide to shelf a project? My current #amquerying manuscript has gotten 52 rejections with around 13 CNRs and 12 I'm waiting to hear back from. Not one full request. I've revised a lot and it's the strongest version but feels like I should move on. Is it time?

I try to put things aside as soon as I consider them finished and have submitted it to a load of places; then I get on with the next project while any responses come in.
Though I do say I *try* to put them aside!
I guess you can look at it not as not at all, but just not now? Sometimes a MS has to go have a little nap in a drawer to be its best self or for the market to be just right.
