I'm waiting to hear whether a short story I sent in has been accepted if it has it will give me such a lift, but if not... Oh, it's so hard. I know I should feel worried about it and I must keep on trying.<br /><br />Thank you for such a great posting and I'm glad your daughter had such a great time.Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-41173343869406823822011-05-20T00:55:48.806-04:002011-05-20T00:55:48.806-04:00Susan, what an inspiring post.

Rejection might sideline us for a bit, but as with anything, the more we practice, the better we get. :)Cate Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371792447604980848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-48729291037970961852011-05-18T20:08:53.678-04:002011-05-18T20:08:53.678-04:00My writing is kind of in a slump.

And as all those rejection letters keep telling us, publishing is a highly subjective business. It's not just whether you can put noun and verbs together, it's finding an agent or publisher who connects with your story and style. The only sure thing about publishing: If you don't keep trying, you won't get published.<br /><br />Big congrats to your daughter for not choking, and helping win the game!Katie O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295418503546522882noreply@blogger.com
