I haven’t blogged in almost a week. I’ve tried, but haven’t had the gumption. Last week I got two rejections. Sort of set me on my heels in put me in my place. I had finally been published – my golden ticket to the world of books. Editors from now on would look at my bio, see that I’d published a novella and say, “Of course we have to publish this woman’s work! She’s a genius.” They’d say something like that anyway 😉

That was not the case. Two different books were rejected. Neither has been dealt the final death blow, but it hit hard, anyway. One publisher did give me nice comments along with constructive critique. That’s how I’m trying to look at it – not that they publisher was completely off their rocker and what do they know about good writing!!

I took the weekend off, cleaned my house (it’s dirty already, so I don’t know why I bothered), and watched the race on TV with my hubby, plus had dinner with my parents.

I’m back at it today. 1669 words so far and more to come. I’m determined to make 2000. I’m also determined to put together a killer proposal and to have the editors fall over themselves at the conference, begging me to sign with them.

Or something like that!

Most of all, I’m remembering that the One who had every right to reject me, loved me instead and called me His child. And the Bible is the greatest acceptance letter I could ever get.
