nothing ventured...

...nothing published. i have been getting rejection letters for my writing now since i could fold and post an envelope (age 6). which i suppose means i've been consistent? it started with "highlights for children" and stretches 31 years until today by the lastest poetry journal.

i appreciate the tone of this one, however, it starts, "as writers ourselves, we understand..." and even includes a handwritten note that says, "sorry to say no" which is more than one usually receives. so, jolly good. encouraged by the trying, i shall file this with my other "thanks so much for trying, no" letters and keep on writing...
