Wow! It’s November! I can hardly believe we are in the last quarter of 2008. The holidays are quickly approaching. This has been a rough week. I’ve been in pain for the majority of it with very few pockets of time to accomplish much. To add to the physical discomfort, I received another rejection for my short story, ‘Abandon’. This one from the Apalachee Review. It was a generic rejection on a slip of paper. *sigh* Now, I must decide if I want to do some tweaking before I submit it to other

He did however wish me luck in placing it elsewhere. It isn’t my first rejection nor, do I dare say, will it be the last. Still doesn’t feel very good though.
