I started part-time freelance work officially in 1998, but I didn't start recording my rejections until January 1999, where I got my first acceptance of the year! A great starting point--and an easier way to swallow the slew of rejections that came afterward.

I've found reading other peoples rejections to be very therapeutic. It's nice to know that there are other professionals out there slogging around the rejection hole with you. So, bookmark this page and come back here from time to time to see how the rejection marsh is affecting me--it may make you feel better!

 Kudos to my friend, Amy Brecount White on her book, Forget-Her-Nots being published. I had the priviledge of critiquing it in its infancy and I'm amazed at what it's become. Amy, you did an AWESOME job!!

Got a rejection. It hurt. But they asked for more later, so there are always possibilities!

A very nice interview was posted on a blog here: Clara Willow Clark. Thanks, Clara!   Happy Birthday to my MOM!!!
