Two sides of the writer coin

Why becoming a better writer rocks: It's a rush, same as skydiving or going really, really (really) fast on your jet ski. Even when you know something isn't publishable, that certain knowledge of yep-I'm-getting-better is just plain fun. *practices more*

Why becoming a better writer sucks: You still get rejected. You just wait longer.

*sadface*

My cousins (who share rental property with me) relinquished one of their dogs to the pound today. I'm so sad I can hardly see the computer screen.

I can't afford to get Abbie back.
