Julie: Thanks for the advice. It’s hard to remember that when they reject me it’s not precisely because I did something wrong it’s just that it’s not something they can use. I’m extremely pleased that my first rejection wasn’t just ‘sorry we can’t use this. bye.’- I might have freaked out a little more at the vague’ness of it all. Bye the way thank you for visiting my blog. I really apreciate it. :)

Quill: The first thing that got me started in submitting my work was a short chapter I read in a book by Stephen King (a book about writing, can’t recall the title off the top of my nogin), he was talking about all his rejection letters from when he was first starting out. He had a whole bunch of them and he kept them on a nail on his wall until he had so many he couldn’t keep them there anymore and that was still long before he ever published his first book. So, I try to keep in mind even the great ones get them and if we’re getting them too… (instead of empty replies)… then we must be doing something right.

Terry: I’ll deffinetly do that. I don’t think I could give up on something that’s so much a part of me. :) Also, thank you for stopping by my blog. I think this is the first time I’ve seen you around here.

Oh and my email is quill@mail2poet.com…I tried emailing you but it bounced back.

Good luck
quill.
