But to get to that point of blessed no-feeling, i had to run the gamut of emotions from over-excited anticipation to the depths of despair. Eventually I've got the point where it's just easier and simpler to feel neutral about them (well, relatively neutral, I still get a twinge now and again)<br /><br />Hope the rest of the week treats you & your son well!Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-71441265135058327692009-10-15T21:52:28.175-04:002009-10-15T21:52:28.175-04:00long time no see!

Rejection only shows us how much perserverance we really have (do we quit early or keep going), well, unless the editor or agent tells you why you were rejected. Then you can actually learn something from the process and grow.Linda Kagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259042112816376940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-16190389483381808002009-10-15T08:18:22.851-04:002009-10-15T08:18:22.851-04:00Hi Kristi, I have been so busy that I haven't ...Hi Kristi, I have been so busy that I haven't visited you in a couple of days.
