It means the world to me! Without your support, I'd be one of those "Wanted to write" writers :-) I'm having a cocktail tonight, and celebrating being brave, sending out my work, posting on a blog :-).Darla Luke, Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644652799367999316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477637414543510219.post-65561547017526001572010-06-26T08:15:14.665-07:002010-06-26T08:15:14.665-07:00I try to celebrate every rejection.

It means that I am courageous and that I am doing something that very few other people ever do.<br /><br />It works (nearly all of the time), so go ahead and give yourself a hooray! You deserve lots of celebrations, hugs, and congratulations. :) :)Linda Mercuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368618862697766989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477637414543510219.post-44200940829462563122010-06-26T06:36:54.411-07:002010-06-26T06:36:54.411-07:00I'm sorry to hear about the rejection, a fact ...I'm sorry to hear about the rejection, a fact of life for a writer. Must be margarita time :)<br /><br />I don't know if I'd use the word afraid. That same editor most likely will want to buy the project you're working on now. And truthfully, it's a small world, so if she can reject without putting her teeth into you, all the better. The other thought I have on this is that sometimes it's probably hard to say why a manuscript doesn't resonate with one editor when it will be totally gobbled up by another. <br /><br />When I read a book, one that I'm ho-hum about, I can always name several other pals who are crazy in love with it, and visa versa. I'm like - WOW!, and someone else - it's alright :)<br /><br />Treat yourself special today!

( If that makes sense, let me know.)<br />Think of Steph R. - she received over 140 before she pubbed. Miss you. Love you.
