Mary Jo, I don't have good news--another rejection last week. Oh, I do have good news! My husband and I went to see David Cassidy in concert on Saturday and I had the best time ever!

S...A story I submitted in March was rejected today. Since last September, Patricia has been forwarding all my "romances" on to Johnene. This one came back with no remarks on the form letter. With about 2500 manuscripts for those ladies to go through every month, buying only 52 (well, 104 with the "mysteries"), almost all of them will be refused. I have great faith in my own writing, but it may not lend itself to extreme editing. <br /><br />Does anyone else have good news lately?Mary Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-45613063179571623632012-06-18T11:56:34.384-07:002012-06-18T11:56:34.384-07:00Nell, I didn't skip!

The middle of that would be another 33 years. So 20 and 33 would be 53. Naah, you can't be 53 yet. I expect you have a way to go.<br /><br />How old were the people in this story?
