My journey ...part three

2002....wow wow wow...even though I spent very little time writing this year I had two fulls requested on I&C and M&F and played around with well....lots of different story ideas....I was so excited and so sure of my success that I came down with a thump when both stories were rejected....soundly....before hand on a query the rejection wasn't soul destroying because I thought of all the reasons why they could have been rejected because the story idea didn't fit at the time, they'd just bought a story from a known author with similar themes etc etc, but to have my writing rejected well that hit hard....and I think I'm still in recovery or denial one or the other but lets say...I didn't learn from it ...I wallowed in rejection and the rest of the year was totally and utterly pathetic
