Thanks for all your kind words. Bill, don...Ahhhh. Thanks for all your kind words. <BR/><BR/>Bill, don't you dare hang it up because of a couple of rejections. That's nothin'.<BR/><BR/>Jill Moore who is the manager at the best children's bookstore in the world Square Books, Jr. (here in Oxford) told me that Shannon Hale taped all of her rejection letter together and made a chain which she brought when she came to Oxford for a book signing. It reached out the door and around the parking lot.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'm not comparing myself with Shannon Hale or Kate diCamillo (I'm so not worthy), but it just shows what a total crap shoot this gig is.<BR/><BR/>And, Mimi, yes. I could give a great lecture on "suffering" for my art.

Although, I'm sad for you, I'm also amazed and inspired by your ability to get "back on the horse" so quickly!<BR/><BR/>And also thank you for the KDC interview tip. Wow!
