Got the 'no' I was waiting for, hoping for. Though, to be honest, I think it was almost a yes (in which case I would have let them have it). The piece was rejected after 'several' reads. That alone is quite a boost for me and the work. I've not written bad (proof right there), it's simply a timing thing. So, I thanked them and am now off to finish the formatting for the other publisher.
This is what it takes to get out there: a non-stop push to support the work. The day I give up on any one piece I've written, that had better be the day I die. I do not put words on the page, I pour myself into them and give it all I have. Where else would any story get its life, if not from the writer who creates it?
Time for work. Time to hold up the piece and let it shine . . . and progress on the next story(s).
