A quiet week, rejections-wise... which means I'm not pushing hard enough, I think. I need to be in the face of these editors, crawling my way over the transom, forcing them to make hard choices, lol. I mean, if they really don't wish to reject my work, there are some other approaches we can explore together... or so I've been told.
In terms of writing, I've made a little progress, finished a first draft the other day to a story I'd like to bring down to about 5k. So we're still working, and that's nice to say in May: not a resolution that melts away with the snow.
Reading, we're putting in time, too. I'm currently reading Peter Straub's Ghost Story, which I've long meant to read (and often found already checked out at the library, especially around Halloween, when it usually occurs to me). An interesting journey thus far. I'm somewhere near halfway through, and only now do I feel like the novel is truly coming together. At some point, I mean to try my hand at being a novelist, though I know that I have a lot to learn about that.

Really, there's no end to all of what I'd like to do eventually. What an exciting (and daunting) prospect.
