Got a rejection yesterday from the editor who'd requested my latest suspense. Now, I admit colorful language flowed freely as I carried the envelope inside. BUT, this was a new step on the road to publication for me. The editor liked it! She said it had "a combination of smooth, clean storytelling and a compelling plot." She liked it so much she sent it to the senior editor because she wanted to buy it! But the senior editor didn't feel it was quite right. But HEY!!! No one's ever been that interested in my writing to send it to the senior editor for approval! So I'M GETTING CLOSER!!!!

A Rejection Of A Different Kind!
