Oh Happy Noodles!!! I got a great review from Jay…

Oh Happy Noodles!!! I got a great review from Jaynee at The Weblog Review. Go Jaynee, Go Weblog Review – you are so Pretty to me! *croon*

Um, why don’t I get many comments back, I wonder? Hmm… gotta go chew on that bone for a while. Better than obsessing about my rejectimakated status – of course, they could be one and the same. *harrumph*

Yeah, okay, so I’m here out of choice. But dare I…

Yeah, okay, so I’m here out of choice. But dare I take it as coincidence that the very day I officially start as a regular (non-contract) employee (they finally got the offer letter figured out) I get (prepare yourself for the horror) my first rejection letter from a major pub. Mumph. Well, actually, mumph-fuck-shit-damn-pout-stomp-bite. With shuriken flying out my eyes.

My darling hubby was so excited when he got the envelope this afternoon that he opened it and called me at work to tell me… he was so pissed *my hero* It’s the first time I’ve sent something to my A list, instead of lurking around the margins of the easier-to-get-published-in B list pages. He’s a big ‘ol sugarbutt. But I had to tell him not to open envelopes about writing anymore for me, unless I ask him to. Burst his bubble of indignation right there, and turned it toward me ;-> His heart was in the right place… but now I have to be at work and wanting to go home and kick my teddy bear around the room or something. Or I could go to the bookstore after work and be bitter. Hmm. Probably not. Gotta figure out an acceptable timeline for sulking before I get back to work – I’d just jump right back in and tackle my next project, but I can’t see past my lower lip.
