I got my first rejection from an agent today.
I was very proud.
Because someone had read my work.
A professional.
And if someone had read my work, I must now be a writer!
One thing confused me.
I had smeared my life guts on those pages.
The ink was blood.
And the rejection I received today said -
They were not accepting fiction at this time.

ROFLMAO!!! Corinne,
Now I’m completely inspired to get busy on that book. If a simple post like this can make me laugh so hard my sides hurt, I, too, can write a book and get it rejected!

Debt Free or Bust – Sherris last blog post..McCain came up with the mortgage rescue plan?
O the joys of technology that allows me to be here in Heviz, Hungary and be able to turn on my laptop and connect wirelessly to something floating in the air and see that you have written another post. Every time I get that message I feel like a little kid that has been invited to the most popular girls slumber party. Thank you so much for the gift you give every time you sit down and write a post. It is a gift we all treasure. Sharon

Dear Sherri -
Glad you had a good laugh. It is a true story, by the way. But you knew that!
So, let us know about your book! I’ll buy a copy. That’s one sale already!
Hi Sharon -
What an incredible experience to access the Internet in Hungary! It must be a thrill.
I know when I get a comment from Cyprus or South Africa or Australia – I am always astounded!
Glad you are enjoying some of my posts. You lift me up!
Have a good time on your vacation!
Hello Corinne,
Hang in there. Don’t give up. The real fun is just beginning. Quick question. Have you ever considered becoming an “Independent Publisher?” Think about it.
The author of The Shack has sold over a million copies of the best-selling book the mainstream publishers turned down. Imagine that!
