In the first (and second) place, there's no reason you can't write

two novels at once. Compartmentalization is part of a modern woman's repertoire; you have details for the job to keep in mind, a shopping/to-do list/appointment calendar and a thousand other things if you've got a house, kids, spouse, etc.. to manage. You've been working on assignments two or more at a time... In fact, it might be good for your mental health to have a backup when you hit a little snag on one of them. 

In the third place, thanks to Mysteria for the lovely photo of George. Brought my blood pressure up a point or two!!!

No problem cousin
Glad we could help.  If you need help with a cover letter I'm pretty sure I do that, however that may have been a retorical statement. Take care and stop by soon Thanks

Azur, it is amazing what his likeness, mere image does for me

AZUR...there goes that hummm of a buzz again from you    You land here and I feel real    You've got the force big time

The most brilliant Letter for a cover is an embroidered, scarlet A.

I think.

But, I would try the Clooney photo and cross my fingers, if it is going to a woman.

Good luck with it Azur
Multi-tasking is good ... unfortunately my supervisor doesn't agree lol.  I have three, no four, pieces of work lurking in my systray and if I close any of them I will lose momentum.. so much for being organised.

Re: You never know......... Hollybird, I feel good about it
of course if I am not chosen i will want to stick my head in a bucket for a day or two. I'd be interested in the celeb's view on rejections along the way for writers.

Azur...making me smile first thing off nice yes....
I love the sound of your accomplishments...

 

As for the cover letter, Just slap George on the front and everyone will be happy! Lol!!!

Re: Good luck! Hagi, thanks. I think your suggestion sounds great.

Good luck!
And as for the cover letter... Well I've never done any before, but I think straightforward, honest and a wee bit tongue-in-cheek attitude works the best. Let them smile, let them live through your emotions - if only for a moment - and they'll notice you.

i like your way of thinking my dear...whatever goes on with that novel of yours, i wish you all the luck and I believe 12 out of 40 chance is not bad at all. If ever, there is always a next time my dear...always.
