Sher, hon, please remember: "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Do not let ONE opinion get the best of you and your commitment to write.
You can either give up or strive to achieve your goal. What will it be?

JJ, I agree with you and Dotsie. On the other hand one of the professionals in our writing group told the beginners that you will probably receive a hundred rejection slips and then finally receive a yes. She had heard this somewhere and told us it happened to her. There's always hope. I'd ignore the letter and move on. My husband has one saying that I really love. Rise about it. Maggie

I am coming out of my writing retirement to write this one little thing and this is really, really it. I can't really call Bubba and Earl to defend me 'cause I dated Bubba and divorced Earl. Maybe if you could find a Bobby Joe. No wait a minute. Dated him, too. Only reason I didn't marry him was 'cause he didn't ask. Ya'll are very kind, but this kind of rejection calls for an entire tub of Betty Crocker frosting, one spoon and my fat pants.

Dear Monkey - so I don't spell check. Sue me. I meant, you don't have a heart...it's a HEART you don't have.

LOL! Danged old rejection letter monkey anyway. Jaw-Jaw, I've decided I'm limiting myself too much in my writing. I got to a point in my life where I decided I'd never write another serious word... no matter what. I'm discovering that's quite impossible. I can't define myself as a writer as just one thing, so I'm letting it all flow and I feel much better. That sounded corny, didn't it??? I've added just a couple of my more serious works on my website, being careful to leave the super heavy stuff buried somewhere in my computer, never to see the light of day. One that I was blessed to write was a review of The Passion of The Christ and I've added it to the site. I figure from now on I'll just write what I need to write and let the frosting cans fall where they may.
