On My Way

I got something special in my post office box tonight: my first rejection slip from a publisher. I am so thrilled!

Jason was laughing at me in the van because I was almost in tears (happy ones) poring over that stupid little form letter. I put it away in my hope chest to keep.

It's going to take years of trying and lots more slips before I actually sell anything, but now I feel like I've started.

Now I need to revise, rewrite, and send it off again! Plus, I'm feeling extra motivated to start mapping out that young adult novel I've been mulling over for a year now.

Woo-hoo for my first rejection! Yeah!
