Life is so much busier these days than it has been! <br /><br />Kel - You're so right about honing in on the energy :) I have actually sent two stories out recently. I have had the first rejection letter back from Meanjin, but meh :) I do think I will pitch some more to MX. <br /><br />Mike - yes, seems to be so much easier for us all to treat each other like crap these days, doesn't it? A graceless age. Thanks for the congrats :)<br /><br />Erin - thank you, my deyah. It is rather confidence boosting. Was weird to hear of my ex-husband's girlfriend reading it on the train, though :)<br /><br />Lucy - it was unintentional to blend black and white to create both/and. How delightful that I did that without realising it :) Your life feels like a GOOFY sitcom? Well, I guess that's better than it feeling like The Young and the Restless or something like that, haha :)<br /><br />Tess - I agree. It IS difficult to give criticism. I find it horribly difficult and always want to backtrack later. Thanks for the encouragement :) May as well use the criticism for something worthwhile, huh :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-60286569027031163602010-05-17T18:48:34.051+10:002010-05-17T18:48:34.051+10:00Great news on the printing.

I'd also add that a) it can be really difficult to GIVE criticism and b) you've displayed great strength in 'sucking up' the criticism and taking action. The taking action part is where so many people just come unstuck. Good on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-39516865071296479272010-05-17T00:48:59.222+10:002010-05-17T00:48:59.222+10:00Congratulations on the printing!

This is a great post and I love how you blend the black and white to make it not so much one or the other, but both/and... <br /><br />...sometimes my life does, however, FEEL like a goofy sitcom ;)Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-85443826589180061172010-05-17T00:23:53.057+10:002010-05-17T00:23:53.057+10:00I think this accomplishment should boost your conf...I think this accomplishment should boost your confidence.
