I got my first rejection this week from a new, small press. At least they invited me to send something else. I really would like this book to get out there, so I am hopeful it will someday. I can't expect to strike it rich on the first try. The main thing is to keep writing. I am, and I will. It's still a little disheartening to be rejected. I got word that my other submissions were received, so now I will wait. And send out more submissions as allowed.

Meanwhile, the days go on. Here's a quote,

"The world is the mountain, and each action, the shout that echoes back" Rumi

I guess that's the lesson, keep acting for the good and the good will return to you.

Create and contemplate, just don't give up.
