Thanks I had to run an errand.
Then a friend called with a dog emergency. I saw your comment. Good thoughts.
Just getting back on here.

Ok. Now I’m really irritated with DH.
Tagging @CapricornFarm cuz she needs to hear this too.

Writing sucks.

I’ve been so down in the dumps lately. It’s a very lonely thing. And rejection... well, it’s hard to let it roll off your back when you put so much time into a piece of work and usually never even hear back because the industry says rudeness is okay now across the board.
So silence=a no.
If you do get a response it’s usually a form.

I got a rejection today about a project I worked on for a very long time -a form rejection by email. The funny thing was I submitted it 27 MONTHS ago!
LOLOLOL really. Lol.

THATS MORE THAN TWO YEARS!
So that one didn’t even hurt and actually made me laugh out lot for reals!
I was so tempted to hit that reply button and ask if they needed “readers” since it took her TWO FLIPPING YEARS to get back to me on a 600 word children’s book!

Then I closed my email and it dinged so I reopened it and lol’d some more because I actually had an ACCEPTANCE for a magazine article (children’s)
Whoop whoop.
Submitted THAT ONE a year and a half ago. These people don’t work on an urgent time frame. Ever.

Don’t get excited gang.
For what a magazine article pays I can’t even take all ya squatchers out for ice cream. Slurpees maybe, butp not ice cream.
But still... I was excited.
I told DH.
“Hey! Omg! Guess what?!”
He never lifted his eyes from his iPad. He said, “That was nice of them.”

Guess that’s why it’s called an “i”pad.

Man. I’m glad I have you guys.

That is exciting! I know i was thrilled when i got my magazine article published.

Me too, but Dumb and Dumber are not very bright. If they are outside my search area they might not figure out where to return to. They have never ranged far. So afraid something snatched her!

 

[CapricornFarm]

CAPPY!
A tolbunt? Oh MAAAAAANNNN!
I hope he or she is just hunkered down somewhere.

She, naturally. I have 2 cockerels , and they were the first ones back. I found the other 2 girls sitting on dead logs, in different locations. You might think they would at least stick together.

I went to physical therapy today. She had me carrying around buckets with weights in them. I told her, i do this every day and tote 50 lb bags of feed by myself with them draped over my shoulder!

Yes, they press on the parts that hurt and have me doing exercises. I put heat on the area and had a nap when i got home.

Keep up the good PT work!

Wow... you'd think in such a cut throat business they'd be faster at processing submissions. Congrats on getting your article selected!

Thank you girlfriend.
