I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Fantastic, Sox!

Man, I hate it when I'm on a roll and have to stop because I've run out of time. But I can't avoid the whole work thing.

Because books.
Okay, people, start thinking.

Two rejections in one weekend. Yeah, I am a major talent. Apparently magazines "don't think of me that way" either.

Send the rejected work or works elsewhere. You are a talent. All sorts of reason an editor may reject a work. Do I have to pull out the list of best selling and classic works that were rejected twenty or thirty times before being accepted?

BTW, I had a dream that I think would make a good story - but not a short post. I've noticed that my longer dream narratives don't usually get much response, so should I assume it won't be of any value, or should I post it just in case?
The short version: a couple who made a great sacrifice that did not produce the results everyone hoped for - so now they have to deal with disappointment and hostility from a public that expected them to be saviors and now has face saving themselves the hard way. They also have to adjust psychologically to having given up a great deal with out great results. It also is in the context of some very bleak and often funny world building. I will post the details if anyone is interested.

Not really...I've heard it. Most recently about "The Help.My mother told me that book was rejected sixty times."That doesn't mean I might not be doing something really wrong and not knowing it.(And the whole "Confederacy of Dunces" thing keeps every creative-writing student going, but surely there can't be that many unrecognized geniuses.) I'd feel better if I had something else. I don't, and this is still a bad time to get a real estate license. ETA: If I ever send anything out again, it won't be this one...that was like the third and fourth time...this one doesn't work.(I mean, I could pretend that it was just too profound to be appreciated by lower humans, but it could just be a turd it took me a month to grunt out.)
