Hugs on the R's--you've got the right attitude :)

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the rejections, but you have the right perspective on it. And at least you're submitting! That puts you in the game. Now it's just a matter of time...
ReplyDeleteIt just shows they lack taste, and the right match is still out there, waiting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Devon, they totally lack taste. Your time will come my girl and when it does it will be magnificent
ReplyDeleteHugs on the rejections, Melissa - keep on at it :) I've no doubt you'll make it!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days the phone will ring...and it will be a very good day. :)
ReplyDeleteAh double hugs on the R's. They're never any fun. But yes let's laugh in the face of them. Please. :)
ReplyDelete(((Melissa))) I've had a few recently. What to do?
