The stress of nothing...

[j_cheney]

I almost started crying today over nothing...before I realized how stupid that was. By nothing, I mean precisely that. I have a story out that I really would like to hear about, and have heard...nothing.

I worry that the spamfilter has eaten my rejection. I worry that if I contact an editor, I will be purged as one of those writers who just annoys them. I worry that I've missed some vital deadline. And this is just a short story. Hmmpf! ::imagining self dissolving into a puddle of bodily fluids over a novel::

Ah well, at least days like these only come around once a month. The dogs are getting on my nerves, and I want to scream at the icy rain outside. What's up with that? It's April, and I should be out planting, darn it!

Yes. I didn't think of that before.

Titles can be tough. My "Voice" story's been driving me nuts. (I'm leaning toward "Finding Her Voice.")

I like titles with verbs in them.

Verbs are good. Active verbs rock. ;)
