Today has been quite a mix. After conquering the blank page this morning, (yay) I was notified I did not win a grant I'd been competing for (boo). The decline had a great piece of (positive) feedback on one of my favorite pieces (that I've currently got out as submission to publishers). I did my portion of voting for the SixFold.org competition. The short stories I read were interesting and none too painful to partake, so we'll call that a yay. I surpassed my NaNoWriMo word count for the day before 5 o'clock. (yay) Then I got my first, honest to goodness rejection email on a submission I'd made to a publisher. (boo) I'd been wondering how I'd take my first rejection. No tears. More a badge of honor really, as I'm choosing to see it. I did pop a couple antacids, but I think that's par for the course. Right now I'm debating on whether to print it out and frame it, print it and just stick it in a file, or let it simply sit filed in my email. Decisions decisions.
Oh, and I also received this beauty in the mail.
It's a 5 inch hand model with Palmistry lines on it! I'm incredibly excited about this little talisman for my NaNo'ing. One of my main characters dabbles in the art, and I think she'd get a kick out of the little statue.
That's all for tonight folks. I've added a NaNo word count widget to the right over there, if you're interested in keeping track of my progress. Actually, it's there even if you're not interested, so there.
