Rejection

It's one thing to be rejected on the basis of a proposal. Then you're usually told it's because the idea may not quite have legs or because you're not famous enough to market. It's something else again to be rejected by an editor who's read your entire book, likes the idea, but then finds it strangely uncompelling, not quite interesting enough. Stings way more. Some days I love being a writer. Some days I'd rather just have another snow day. I'm going to handle it with the maturity and judgement of a 50 year old, though. I've got some vintage rum here somewhere.
