• Sun, 10:07: Five rejections in less than 24 hours. Eight this week. Who'd be a writer?
• Sun, 11:22: I have flipped a rejected story. Because the only failure is the failure to get back up again, dammit.

“The secret of being a writer:  Not to expect others to value
what you've done as you value it.  Not to expect anyone else
to perceive in it the emotions you have invested in it.  Once
this is understood, all will be well.  Not indifference, not
apathy—  but self-containment is the result.”

Joyce Carol Oates, from a journal entry (via

*nod* This is the price of writing the stories I want to read--and then sending them out to be judged by others. I realize that no one will ever love Ben and Alex as much as I do...

But it would be nice if people would just, you know. Like them enough to throw piles of cash at my head.
