Week of: 7/4/26

Lots of rejections this week, what fun!

Sometimes I feel a bit like Eleanor Rigby -- writing here, writing the stories I do, and sending them out. Who is it for, I wonder? Though that's a more negative energy than I'd ordinarily like to maintain.

In a slightly more positive light, I showed up to my one-time writing workshop group, the Wordos. It remains to be seen whether I'll keep that up, but it's a nice idea. I've been reading yet another how-to-write book, Bird by Bird. And speaking of reading, I've finished Anna Karenina (and then I started and finished Mother Night)! So even if nobody buys my stories, or gets to read them, hey, at least I'm doing my part by continuing to read!
