sometimes it's a good thing

I got the nicest rejection letter last night. The editor was kind and wished me luck placing the story elsewhere and welcomed future stories of mine. You can't do any better than that - at least without getting the story accepted. So yay!

And, I did the brave thing which was to send that story right back out. So am now waiting for rejection letter #2.

Today I have a busy day - my normal work things plus planning for a poetry workshop I'm helping lead on Saturday. Exciting!
