I will never think I've got it bad until...

I find one of these in my mail box/inbox:

Best Rejection Ever

If you are interested how I came across the letter,well I was browsing here:

Write For Your Life

I like to wander! Just a little evening blog fling won't hurt anyone...but that letter might. Right. Yeah. Um. I'm going now. Ciao!

    Wow...I love it! It's ironic that her pain has totally made my morning.

    Lorena: I believe this was a response to Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily....as far as I know it was published. Otherwise how else would we know of it.

    Carla: Glad you found something positive in it. :)

    So funny. :-) She definitely got published!

    Wiki entry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Stein

    This letter came very much at the beginning of her publishing career - and it certainly didn't stop her! We can all learn from that.

    You have a fabulous blog! I’m an author and illustrator and I made some awards to give to fellow bloggers whose sites I enjoy. I want to award you with the Creative Blog Award for all the hard work you do!

    I invite you to follow me since we have a lot in common, but no pressure. I’m not giving you the award just so you will follow me. You really do deserve it!
    Take care:-)
