One of their comments has been getting under my skin a bit for the past few days, but that's because it echoes one of my own little voices inside, one of the ones I don't especially want to think is right. Hah! <BR/><BR/>And Peter, somebody's gotta be older than me! *grin* At least you're not a middle-aged spinster with cats and comfortable shoes.... ;)Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1117379687319367542005-05-29T11:14:00.000-04:002005-05-29T11:14:00.000-04:00Hi, Anne,I discovered your blog today; enjoyed my ...Hi, Anne,<BR/>I discovered your blog today; enjoyed my visit.<BR/><BR/>It sounds to me like you came close with your chapbook, so that is grounds to celebrate. And at least you're putting it out there. When I first started trying to find a publisher years ago, if a rejection came (and a whole roomful did), I just tweaked and sent it back on its merry way.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, you find a home.<BR/><BR/>I have to commend Flume Press for sending a crit and comments as well as a copy of the winning book. To me, that's giving something back to the entrants, and that's a lofty thing to do.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you,<BR/>Kay DayKay Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275071321640008940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1117321581157163772005-05-28T19:06:00.000-04:002005-05-28T19:06:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday Anne: Hope you have a good one.
