The pool is up!

I love this time of the year. Its getting hotter, summer time is near and I get to put up the pool. I think nothing beats sitting in the pool when its 25 degrees outside, and it's too hot in the house to think.
Yesterday I received my first publishing company rejection letter for work I submitted about a month ago. I'll have the slip scanned and put into my blog. I didn't take it to hard, but its easy to doubt yourself because someone doesn't accept your work. Is my writing lame? What's wrong with it? These type of questions ring through my head, but I have to put them aside and continue writing less they overwhelm and deter me from what I love doing. Also, I do realize that there is a 2-4% acceptance rate in the publishing world, so I have a small chance. That just means I have to keep sending the material out there. Eventually a market will take notice.

NO major updates

NOthing super going on at the moment for J and I. School is beginning to wind down for her and she is looking forward to summer holidays. I'm just working at Starbucks, getting hours and hanging out at home. Today I mail out the first batch of material to publishers throughout Canada. I have a small hope that a magazine will consider my work - actually about a 2% chance, but you have to try.
