The fear of rejection is hard to suppress, so having two out of four say yes feels pretty good.
Stay tuned...
Have you ever held butterflies in your hand? Barely there, then gone? Fleeting, aren't they? This is how life is and this is what I write about. Fleeting moments of life that pass us by, barely there and then you miss it if you aren't paying attention.

Hey Kool Aid,
Followed your link from Mathew's blog just out of curiosity, and I came upon this post of yours.
Rejections are always hard. I'm glad that you got out of your comfort zone (which I'm such a big fan of. I don't suggest getting out there one step at a time. I say,just get out there and do it! Which is what I did when I moved out of my country to work in China just 6 months after I graduated). 2 out 4 ain't bad at all. I sent four of my stories out and got rejected but I haven't folded yet. So again, congratulations on sending out those letters. Just getting the courage to do them is one amazing feat. :)
Hi Kate,
Thanks for visiting! I appreciate your support. And, WOW, to move to another country - China - for work! That must be an awesome story. That is definitely stepping out of your comfort zone. I'll have to check out your blog - anyone who is brave enough to do that must have interesting things to write about.
Thanks Kool Aid. I hope you do drop by and I'll shower you with lots of fortune cookies and green tea. My blog centers on my journey to becoming a writer as well as my other interests on personal development, re-inventing yourself and travel. ;)
By the way, does the offer still stand for guest blogging? I'd like to try.
Kate,
absolutely! I looked around your blog a little while yesterday and I'd love for you to do a guest post! Let's talk about it.
