Submission day....

Well, today is the day! Rejection or contract, a learning experience. I can only hope that the editors a Shadow Fire see something in my work and want to sign me. If not, I'll find another publisher who does.
That's the game. I've read so many times that if you don't have a thick skin in this business, you may as well not even try. I guess that's true enough. Because when an editor tells you 'No, thank you' or the one I've received the most 'Not quite what we're looking for' it stings a bit. Instantly you start to wonder, is it me? Do I just not have what it takes? I suppose we all have moments in our lives when we think that. Be it a situation that depends on your 'talent' or something different. The only thing you can do is try and try again. That's the only thing any of us can do.
So wish me luck, cross your fingers, toes, eyes...what ever you can. I've said it a few times today...I can use all the help I can get.
Have a wonderful day!

Just a quick note to let you know I'm proud of you for finishing "Secret Fantasy" whose sub-title ought to be--A Really Kickass Story. I'm pulling for you! Here's to getting published in 2010! Hugs!
