Inspiration comes in many forms

I received a letter of rejection from the assistant editor at Silhouette Special Edition yesterday for the manuscript I have had out since September 2006. Not with him all that time, but he got it in December and I just heard back . It was a helpful letter of what he didn't think worked and what I might rethink for my next one. Since I have one almost ready to send out, this comes at a good time. Better before than after. So, now I'm moving onward and hoping to mail the new one out in another month or two. He also invited me to send anything I have that I think might work for SE. This one is targeted to the same line and yes, I think it might work.

I don't think I'd like to be an editor and have to tell people 'No'. I'm not really very good at it. My husband used to tell me, "You need to learn to say 'No' sometimes." I am still trying to learn that lesson. I do admire someone who, like Charles , can tell someone no with such grace and encouragement. I believe it's a talent not everyone possesses.

What's new

Me! So welcome to my newest blog! Find a cozy seat, grab a treat and a drink of choice-- and let's have some fun.

Okay-- Maybe *I'm* not really new, but this blog is new. I've created it to go along with my new soon-to-be-announced website. When everything is up and running this blog will (hopefully) be linked with the new site, and (hopefully) better customized, so it will be a one-stop gawking experience.

That said- I have a question:
Is there a way to customize the font colors, style, and such? When I ctrl w/ I or B, I get an IM window pop up...
