I once heard a great tip that writers should set their writing goals based on the number of rejection notices that they want to get in a month or year -- that way at least you feel a sense of accomplishment when you hit your numbers! :)<BR/><BR/>I'm excited to run into the blog of another writer mom of little ones. I saw your post on Rachelle's site and just had to leave a comment. I also have three kids under four and am an aspiring writer. I just had to drop by to say hello!Jennifer @ Conversion Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894992378619176830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-46377417288522066002008-07-26T09:55:00.000-04:002008-07-26T09:55:00.000-04:00Thanks Candi!

But I think you're right in that it's definitely about closure. It's just nice to know I can cross that agent off my list and move on.Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-80352403139039702582008-07-25T13:57:00.000-04:002008-07-25T13:57:00.000-04:00You've got to love closure even when it comes in t...You've got to love closure even when it comes in the form a a rejection. It just screams 'Finally!'<BR/><BR/>Watching the e-mail inbox day in and day out is enough to drive you crazy! Funny thing is, when I see a reply or e-mail from an agent/editor, it takes me ten minutes before I can even click on it.<BR/><BR/>I usually clean up my other e-mails then close my eyes after I click.

It made me feel like I had the last word, like winning my power back.<BR/><BR/>Funny, the sneaky things we do as writers to keep ourselves sane and positive. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
