Rejection slip

Ye cats! I just got an e-mail from Macmillan. That was the fastest rejection I've ever received. Looks like MacMillan have been swamped by manuscripts and have pulled up the drawbridge like most other people in the publishing world. This leaves me in a bit of a quandrary; do I keep on pluging away at the publishing houses or do some self publishing via Lulu.com or some other free self publisher.

I'm pretty sure it's not the writing, it's more the marketplace. Best thing to do is to have a go and see what happens. If it flops, it flops. If it takes off - well, the mainstream publishers have just lost money and my custom for good.
