Will a hug do?

Awww. There, there. And at least you aren't a "looser." You're a winner, here.

Here is my virtual shoulder--cry away (but then keep sending out those queries)

alrighty now, enough moping about. get off your hunches, get a printout of one of them works that were rejected.

get a glass of somethin.

sit down.

read.

read as if it this were the first time you ever ever got your hands on it.

how does it read?

does it make you feel? laugh? cry?

does it make you want to go on reading?

yes? then keep on submitting.

no? then get over to your station and rewrite it.

you'll be published.

Steam away, hon. Imitate a flipping kettle, if that's what keeps you sane.

But keep writing.
