I'm concerned how she is going to handle what is likely to happen when she submits the manuscript to a publisher. At best it's going to end up buried in a slush pile. At worst she's going to receive rejection letters. She'sw of the belief that she's written a best seller that's going to shoot straight to number one. Needless to say I'm keeping these concerns to myself. I'll be there to be supportive if this doesn't work out. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]

Maybe just the fun of writing the novel will hold her up if she doesn't get any bites from publishers. Good thing she has you for a friend.
