Summer is here

So I'm thinking I should probably just give up expecting a reply from the publishers I sent the manuscript to. They said within the month and it's been nearly that now. Found another one I like i.e. they accept e-mail submissions, but I have to write a proposal. This is the first in a series, so do I write it for the whole series or just the one? The problem is my patience is wearing a little thin. Oh well I console myself with better luck next time and the sun is out.
