Bad days, I get 5 or more. Another hard thing is trying to decide if you should send it to a magazine or a book publisher. I think what gets me the most is celebrities getting published immediately just because of their name. It takes a lot of work, revision, work, revision, editing, work to get a great story written in a thousand words or less. And some publishing companies want stories in 500 or less.
Writing is hard.
I have found that to be a writer, you have to write. I'm losing time being a mom, but if I turn out good children, the writing can wait. I love editing, but I think that's the teacher in me. I have two girls. One daughter going in first grade this fall and another one just turning 18 months.
