And you're a great mother and a cracking fine wilderness canoe partner. And a darn nice friend! It's all going to work out, and in ways that are hard to foresee, so keep your lamp trimmed and burning, Pony. We are in your month, and this is your patch of landscape. You are part of every good thing that grows, as the song says, and you illuminate and expand our worlds in ways that are unique and wonderful.Sam Southworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918384375542511734.post-63682608360555353782011-10-11T12:58:18.237-07:002011-10-11T12:58:18.237-07:00Beautifully said!Beautifully said!Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918384375542511734.post-38297631322173651052011-10-11T07:43:50.818-07:002011-10-11T07:43:50.818-07:00I am certain that I will be purchasing your book s...I am certain that I will be purchasing your book someday.

You captured exactly how if feels to get a request. That high can last for days, but unfortunately, so does the low from the rejection that ultimately follows.<br /><br />p.s. your kids sounds awesome. This is how the conversation goes with my ten-year-old boy:<br /><br />son: Did you get an agent yet?<br />Me: No, not yet <br />son: What's taking you so long!<br />me: *utters low growl and gives son look of death*Angela V.

The rejections feel like a pinhole in your balloon, but at the same time, one agent's rejection is leading you to the next agent, who might be a better fit. There's still hope and possibility involved, it's just going to sting at first.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750774359232145507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918384375542511734.post-78454528076253811362011-10-07T04:18:05.895-07:002011-10-07T04:18:05.895-07:00Alrighty.
