I wonder if I can install "Happy New Year to you, too, Big Balls!" as a ringtone on my cell phone.

I have been inspired by your blog and those of others to do my own but the writing evokes tremendous anxiety in me. But according to British comic writer Douglas Adams..."Writing is easy. You only need to stare at a piece of blank paper until your forehead bleeds."

The hardest lesson to learn - and yet the most important - is to never take rejection personally. Until you figure that out, you're doomed.
I am always heartened when I see that people whose writing I think is good get rejected too.
Because even though I know the mantra and I have been rejected before, they're all like kicks in the gut.
Whooee! I'm glad I'm not a "Young" writer! I recommended you as an excellent book club guest - did you get a call from Chesterland area? Diane
