So I reckon the story's fabulous because you're positive about it. Keep at it (and let any rejections hurt for two seconds and then forget about them - that's what I do).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186491465911432817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285825281902714579.post-639457141412529412012-09-03T12:34:19.810-07:002012-09-03T12:34:19.810-07:00Yeah, feelings!

I often have a sense that a story is good enough to be published somewhere, and often that is right, but then again, those are the stories that I relentlessly submit over and over. Self fulfilling prophecy, anyone? The stories I'm not sure about I often allow to fester on my hard drive. There's a lesson in that somewhere.<br />Elizabeth Twisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133959633383307056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285825281902714579.post-49937721226440702392012-09-03T12:20:10.060-07:002012-09-03T12:20:10.060-07:00Hey, eventually your feelings will be right though...Hey, eventually your feelings will be right though!Alex J.
