I don't really mind getting a rejection on a manuscript withdrawn from a competition five months ago.
This was my only rejection so far this year. That said, I have very little out, as I'm working on a heavy ms revision and am refusing myself other tasks until I get my head under and get it done.
This also means no blogging, even though I have things to say about the friend who did not save my life, crow instability, invisibility, and getting at the word of God by nuns neglecting orphaned infants.

It is unfair to tease so! Please tell stories about not being saved, invisibility, unstable crows an getting to God by neglect. I'll try to be patient.
