Heard back. And, yes, another no. But, I'm not out yet. Already, I've found more markets for the piece. Just finished the Thank You note back to the pub, I mean every one that I write, and am narrowing down the next place for submission.
To be honest, I did (and do) take a few minutes to mope about it. Well, it's get a hug from the hubby (normally, it'd be a cookie and cup of coffee while I head back to the office and try again, but the diet says no to that -- dammit), grab a snack for the next work session, and crank the tunes (or fave TV show) while going over further options.
I cannot let myself give up. I believe in the stories too much to just let them die like that. They mean something, or they would not have been written in the first place. And, if I don't stand behind the work, no one will. So, I plug away again -- and again and again and again. It is all worth it, to make sure they see print.
And they will.
