Requested a partial!!!!
I got her email Friday morning. That’s right: you all were reading about how painful this Summer of Rejection has been, how despondent I felt after racking up more than 20 rejections in just three months (y’all aren’t seeing the magazine rejections and/or non-responses I’m getting – or, um, not getting), and I was reading the most beautiful email ever penned, er, typed.
She wrote, “I would be pleased to review your project further.” Are there any more felicitous words in the English language? (Okay, so “I love you” is a pretty close second.)
Hallelujah! Weeping shall endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
I am a reader (I feel about books the way some people feel about chocolate: yum), a writer (I've written a book, even: The Circle of Seasons: Meeting God in the Church Year), and a mother (of four). So that's what I blog about: reading, writing, and raising my kids.
