Another Rejection

One more rejection...Del Sol Review went down after three months of holding on to my story. In a weird way, even rejection is exciting though (no, I don't have a prediliction for psychological punishment). It's the thrill of an email, the thrill of acknowledgement from someone in the world of publishing. It let's you know that you're still in the game, not hanging on the sidelines. I did enough of that in JV basketball (my buddy Chris and I had it down to a science!). So back at it, after all, because that's what it's all about. As Richard Wilbur said in "The Writer," one of my favorite poems,

It is always a matter, my darling,
Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish
What I wished you before, but harder.

Keep on writing...
