« Six Silly Things That Make Me Smile | Main | Seen on the Highway »
Here's me just moments ago dropping off partial manuscript submissions at the post office. I received a "your work is promising, but I'm not enthusiastic enough about it to champion it into the publishing process" letter yesterday. I can't decide if my childhood prepared me for these kinds of kicks or if sobriety has made me stronger. I suspect a combination of both because I'm nowhere near ready to give up.
More the fool me. Hey, it's oodles better than pouring poison down my throat.

Agreed! Oodles better!! I think both your childhood and your sobriety play an important part to who you are now; you are, the sum of your parts and all that.

No. Poison down the throat would not make it better. I so admire your tenacity and confidence. This WILL happen for you. I can just feel it :)

Keep on keeping on.

Don't let the naysayers get to you. As Syd said, keep trucking on. You will revel when it is finally published.

It's all good!
