Hope is a hard thing

[raefinlay]

I got bad news from my agent today. Not break-your-career news or anything, but very disappointing. No such thing as a sure thing in this business.

But lemme tell ya, the cure for disappointment is one part everyonesakitty and two parts ccfinlay, all mixed together with a single serving of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream. You should try it.

*loffs peeps*
*eats more ice cream*

It sounds like you have some wonderful friends.

::HUGS::

Sorry you got bad news, though.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Thx, Janice. *hugs*

[dragonmyst.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. :(

Ice Cream is great therapy! So are good peeps.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Ice Cream is great therapy!

Yes! And so is shopping. Alas, I have no money, so ice cream it is.

[katallen.livejournal.com]

*hugs* ice cream is good.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thanks, Katty-Kat.

(Have we succeeded in converting you to asterices? *dance of victory*)

[retrobabble.livejournal.com]

A satisfying solution to be sure. I'd need a couple of cabana boys to even things out, though.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Heh. :-)

Fortunately, Charlie is worth at least two cabana boys, so I'm set.

[navicat.livejournal.com]

Really sorry to hear that :( But wow, that icecream sounds like it would fix anything!

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Yes! And! The more I eat, the more it fixes!!

[stevenagy.livejournal.com]

Butter pecan. Handel's ice cream from Youngstown. Rated best in the world.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. *faints dead away*

[magicnoire.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm sorry to hear there was bad news! *hug*

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Thx, Vern. *hug*

Thx, u.

When life gives you lemons, squirt people in the eye. (Well, not everyone.)

You never know, maybe that agent wouldn'tve been right for you.

Rx: If still blue, take an early morning walk while the sun rises. :)

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

That early morning walk is a good idea. Esp. considering all the icecream I'm eating. *g*

[irysangel.livejournal.com]

Ohnos! :(

*loffs*

Holly *is* the best cheerleader evar.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

She is!! (I'll give you the sordid details if you're in chat tonight.)

[sksperry.livejournal.com]

It must have been national Bad Agent News day. You got any of that icecream left? (You can keep all the Charlie Finlay.)

This is the time for one of those rallying, inspirational speeches. Wish I had one.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

You too, eh? *gives cookie* *or cookie dough ice cream*

[buymeaclue.livejournal.com]

all mixed together with a single serving of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream

TMI! TMI!

(Sorry about the bad news and hope you get some good news soon.)

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

*laffs!*

Congratulations. You beat Charlie to the innuendo.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

No matter what bad news you received from your agent, I know you are a fine enough writer to overcome it.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Aw, thx, u. And I *will* overcome it. I can out-stubborn anything.

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Stupid publishing. Stupid news.

Yay ice cream!

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Not stupid enough to overcome our stubborness, however. *g*

[shadawyn.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Sorry to hear it. But it does sound like you have awesome friends :D

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

I *do* have awesome friends. Yanno, there are some people who do this crazy writing thing alone. *boggles*

[stillnotbored.livejournal.com]

::huggles Rae::

One battle lost does not mean losing the war. You know that, but I'm saying it anyway.

Onward, Ms. Rae. Here is a tiara for you.

Maybe we should get one for Charlie too...

::runs off giggling::

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

He could hang it with his pants in the closet.

[coolmajaka.livejournal.com]

Bummer.

Keep banging.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Keep banging.

O.O

*is righteous*
*resists temptation*
*says nothing*
*polishes halo*

oh no!

[melinda-goodin.livejournal.com]

*huggles*
sorry you had bad news. Glad you have good friends!

Re: oh no!

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Thx, Melinda. *huggles!*

[janeorben.livejournal.com]

Hey, no worries - at least you have an agent! Better than most people. ;-)

Hang in there.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Yes! And she is awesome.

Dude...I hardly recognized you without a neon shade in your hair!

[jsgbits.livejournal.com]

::offers up Ben & Jerry's Karma Sutra:: (that's the choc/vanilla/choc chips/caramel blend)

Onwards!

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

::mouth waters::

oh, sorry, Rae, not here to steal your ice cream, I promise. . .

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

Is it black widow season?

Ben & Jerry will have a lot to answer for when the sin of gluttony is assessed and torments are parceled out. ;)

But comfort and joy have to count for a lot in the other side of the balance, right?

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Were I the good Lord, B & J would have a get-out-of-hell-free card for sure.

[cammykitty.livejournal.com]

Aroo!!! So sorry, but you are right. Friends, ice cream, a pen and notebook or a computer and keep going!

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Yep, yep, yep, and also yep. Esp the computer part. ONWARD!

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! I don't have any ice cream to offer, but how about kitty-cuddles? My kitties are always ready to cuddle.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

How 'bout I just stare at that icon for an hour or so? HOLY CUTE.

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sorry for the crappy news, but I'm glad you seem to have the disappointment under control (it would be green_tea_lady, tiellan and Cherry Garcia in my case, but I must say the formula is a very good one for remedying bad news). *hugs*

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Thx, Ri. *hugs* Mmmm...Cherry Garcia. I've seen it in the stores but never tried it. No time like the present, says I!
