Of twenty-two submissions to markets this year, I have four acceptances and four pending review!
(I choose to live in the positive (denial), but if you need to know how many rejections feel free to do the math, lol. Eh, it all balances out.)
This month is also CampNano, so I have several projects in which my goal is TO FINISH. These are almost there, excruciating, frustrating, must-complete, first drafts of projects. They are the ones I must write, but I avoid like the plague. They are the ones that float around like Guilt Ghosts that haunt the writer in me, so I’m facing them down this month.
Well — take that, Guilt Ghosts! BAM! One memoir poetry book (50 poems) COMPLETED!!! (Insert Cabbage Patch dance here)
Now, on to the first draft of my second Children’s picture book in my diversity series!

Good for you! Sometimes the ones that are just SO close to being done are the hardest to write. Proud of you for finishing. Keep up the great work.
BTW, most rejections are not for the writing but because they don’t fit the publisher’s need at the moment. Disappointing, to be sure, but not a negative on your writing. Just think how many best-sellers were rejected by multiple houses.

Good advice! It just feels personal. I promised myself that this was the year of putting my work out there, so I have to allow the rejections add steel to my armor, lol. BTW, I just got another acceptance! So, maybe it all might balance out after all
