Sigh.

Just got another rejection letter for one of my short stories.

I should have known. Today has been a bad day, and I just knew something else was coming. Is this going to be the story of my life? I just wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong. I was going to submit a story to Buzzy Multimedia magazine, but I don't think I will now because I'm probably just doing the same things that are getting me rejected elsewhere. I don't even know what those things are! Now I just have another story unworthy of publication to throw on the pile because I have no idea what to do with it. I'll just sit here with my self-pity and my rejected manuscript pile while I contemplate what to do next.

Fender I just saw this article that would have helped but I've forgotten where or I would send it to you! I was going to send it to my daughter but didn't.
It's about all these successful artists and the amazing amounts of rejections they got before success. One famous writer submitted 100 things before he got his first acceptance.

So don't give up, it's just part of the process!!
