It sits on a desk in our bedroom. Nice setup. I keep it on because once in a while, I go back to my story. It’s a long one and I should give it more attention than I do, because its also a very good one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing it. Side note: I doubt myself. . .a lot.

Although getting kind comments makes it so much better! Yes, definitely submit it again, and let us know where! Apparently, we all go rejected from this one. That’s just how it goes. 🙂

Are you with us in the FB group? You might want to announce this there too, so others can commiserate with you.

All that learning and overlapping learning did help me. It wasn’t a waste of time, but what it did was prepare me to go back to basics with a better understanding of what I’d learned.

Is there anything specific you wish you had more help on with your writing?

I struggle with prioritizing things and balancing work time with life, but I’m not sure anyone can help me with that.
