Of course, the toast can be a leeetle bigger when we get accepted.C.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03405230532317363372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504709018372694742.post-81461289989504854102008-01-14T15:07:00.000-08:002008-01-14T15:07:00.000-08:00Update, shipped off the query today.

Again with the time moving so fast--one query a week suddenly seems like a ton.<BR/><BR/>I was very happy to get that note. I'm acknowledged! Yay! I'm in the contest! Yay! When the results start coming back we should have a losers party to celebrate our participation.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504709018372694742.post-11630477330969738872008-01-14T11:58:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:58:00.000-08:00Got the WotF email too.

I too figured it was a rejection (even though I sent an extra stamped, addressed envelope so they can tell me that personally) but I didn't get depressed over the thought.<BR/><BR/>Funny how we each think differently.<BR/><BR/>In eight to ten weeks, I will probably have forgotten about the whole thing and if and when a rejection comes, I won't be thinking, "Crap!" I'll be looking for the next place to send that story because I know it belongs somewhere out there.C.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03405230532317363372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504709018372694742.post-1070003386135409522008-01-14T09:13:00.000-08:002008-01-14T09:13:00.000-08:00Yeah, I received that email. When I saw something ...Yeah, I received that email. When I saw something from WotF sitting in my inbox, my heart jumped. For half a second I was excited until I realized it was way too early to be hearing results. So naturally I thought it was an email to tell me that my story was *so bad* they had to refuse it entry. <BR/><BR/>Funny how my brain goes from excited to depressed in half a second. <BR/><BR/>So I was happy to find a note just letting me know they received my submission. <BR/><BR/>But in eight to ten weeks, I'm going to be a mess, I think, when I see another email from them. <BR/><BR/>Sigh.C.
