Credit Crunch Rejections (CCR!)

Just had an 'in the current climate' rejection letter. The gist was they might have taken the risk if it wasn't for the credit crunch. Anyone else had a CCR?

    Was it a publisher or a magazine Lou?

    Sad thing is that the CCR is an easy thing to say, isn't it?

    Depends. I was munching on a ginger biscuit when I tried to say it, now my desk is covered with softly glowing golden crumbs (of comfort)...

    Thanks for the image RG...I suppose it's better than watching half of your biscuit falling into the mug of coffe you've just dipped it in :)

    Could I have some of those crumbs of comfort please, Random?

    Publisher, Carol. A book I had high hopes for. Never mind, sending off another three today. Get back on the bicycle!

    That's it, keep sending. Good luck on the next one.

    About a year ago a friend of mine had a similar ‘in the current climate’ rejection. I wonder if it’s an excuse because they don’t want to go to the effort (or don’t have time) of giving individual detail.
