Fear...

Ok so this will be short because I have a lot to do before I go into work today.

I'M TERRIFIED of submission. More over I'm terrified they'll like it. Rejection is an inherent part of life and any business, especially one involving artistic endeavors. My fear in acceptance may seem contrary to the point of submitting to these magazines but really...

If you expect failure for so long and then gain the one thing you're after, how would you react?

Happiness and overwhelming joy, followed sharply by the realization that nothing is good enough and you have to make about a million changes that come with the editing process.

So I'm sitting in front of my computer looking at my manuscript and kind of hoping that it fails. I should say that a MUCH larger piece of me hopes for nothing but the best and that i do in fact get published so I can add it to my resume and proudly frame my submission as art on my wall.

Wish me luck and good luck to all of you writing and following your dreams, where ever that road takes you. =]
