and then i was FAMOUS
well dee liked my story. aaron, you liked my fantasy better, and dee liked my summer chase one better. i get a balanced opinion between the two of you. its fun. when one person says something i can just assume that the other will say the opposite. its kind of nice. i applied for the mentor thingy where ill hopefully actually get a real writer or whatever to help me with my writing. could be really cool. it might actually be good enough for me to be able to start collecting rejection slips :) all writers need to have a collection of rejection slips. once i start getting them, i think ill start a collage on my wall of them. too bad rejection slips dont look like the dreaded pink memos. that would make a really good collage. but rejection slips just looks boring. i wonder what an acceptance slip looks like. ive never actually seen one. maybe ill actually see one day what one looks like :) one can always hope. so in the meantime i get to wait with baited breath for them to assign someone to be my mentor, and start cleaning up my books so when they read them i dont look like a complete fool. yeah. i should go do that. and while im at it, maybe ill get some work done on shakespeare. have a great shabbos everyone.

i had to tilt my head when i read this post
Rejection slips look like pieces of paper. They generally say,
"Dear Writer:
Thank you for this, but it's not right for my list.
Best,
[insert fancy agent/editor name here]"
They may sound plain and normal, but they have the power to destroy you emotionally for days and weeks on end.
Just so you know. :-/
