I am so bad at updating this journal, or any journal, for that matter. But a few friends have been asking me what's been going on with me, and I feel I ought to give them some means of finding out when I go on long breaks from AIM and email.

anyhow. i was talking to a prof here that used to write for the band Rush (so jealous) and i said that maybe i was being too hopeful on writing for a magazine so soon. She said i wsn't being too hopeful but that i was giving up too easily!
so. i'm writing another shitty outline. hopefully not as shitty.
Yeah? :)

As for rejection slips, I'm alright with the idea of recieving them. I'm actually starting a healthy collection! And I promise, I won't give up.

*HUGS* Thanks so much for the encouragement, everyone really needs that!
(And let me know when you hit it big in the music magazine market, I want to start a healthy collection of your work, too! ^_^ Keep up the good fight!!)

And don't worry--the rejections sting a little, but I'm so used to them now it doesn't make much of an impression on my stubborn head. I'm kinda like a clown fish in a sea anemone!! ^_^
