16351. I'm hoping! I had my carpets cleaned Monday morning, but this morning they were still just barely damp. It's been dreary here. I'm assuming you're in Denver?

16352. Acceptance or rejection, remember that 95% of the people who want to be writers never get to where you are.

16354 -- yeah, denver :) And it's funny because I don't feel worried about the rejection part (at least not yet anyways ;) ). I just feel really good about what you quoted in your statistic, just that I started something and finished it. What's more exciting for me is doing it again, starting another story only to finish it. Then, another! lol, I'm addicted! it's so fun :)

16356. Best advice I've ever gotten (I haven't had much of a chance to act on it, though) was not to let the sun set on a rejection; send it back out the day you get rejected. I've got about 5 stories on sub right now, so I'll probably have to put my money where my mouth is.

If you think subbing is addictive, just wait until you get an acceptance!
