They haven't all said no yet.
But they almost have.
Four scary publishers (who do not heed deadlines) sat upon a wall.
The Nos I've had, as Nos go, have been very friendly Nos. Most have said that I can write, that they love the voice, the concept... not enough of course, but one year ago having publishers tell me I could write would have seemed monumental. So I'm clinging to that.
Today is Columbus Day, which I assume means we're celebrating the discovery of America. I'm celebrating the fact of a day off and am going to spend at least a portion of it writing. Because if / when they all say No, I need to have already reminded myself that I love writing, so that I keep on doing it in the face of the collective No I am anticipating (but still hoping against of course).
In other news, I still love my house, the new job is pretty cool and my parents are visiting at the end of the month. Life is good.
