1) I have to admit I'm still ecstatic over the JBU thing....so I'll count that as part of today's good vibe.

2) I got a "if you were interested in considering a rewrite" variety rejection this morning, which I don't really consider a rejection...yet. The editor sent me a page an a half of suggested changes, all of which are very valid points.

Re-write requests are perfectly fine with me. An editor thinks you should do certain things to shape the story the way they want it, and you get to choose whether you want to comply. Of course, there's no guarantee that they'll buy it if you do change it, but still, they were interested enough to say so---and in this case, interested enough to explain exactly what they felt needed improvement--which is a far step above the usual rejection.

So am I gonna try the re-write? You bet I am!!!1!

3) I bought a bottle of OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark".
My nails are a bit short right now, so I'll wait until they've grown out a bit, but then it's Goth-girl nails once again!
