Result!

An exciting day is upon us. My first rejection arrived this morning. I am finally a 'real' writer.

I get the feeling I should have dissolved into a puddle of tears by now but I am happy to report there is not even the start of a sniffle. Perhaps my months and years of 'preparing for the rejection of my work' have actually - and I hadn't quite anticipated this - prepared me for the rejection of my work. Job well done.

The Journey Continues
My manuscript must go out into the world again, a wiser woman. I certainly had to kiss a few frogs before I found my prince and the same may be true for her, or maybe not. Maybe Prince/Princess Charming (I can see this metaphor becoming problematic) is just around the corner. We shall see. All I know for sure is that I am one step closer to finding the perfect agent and that, for me, is a great result.
