Rejection

Yup, it's starting all over again. Some of you have seen my roll of rejection lettes (I laminated together the rejections I received from
 publishers before getting my first acceptance). Besides my short 
stories and an earlier book, the goose girl alone got nine rejections. And I hadn't had any since! ...until yesterday.
ostensibly jane is an adult book I've been 
working on for the past 5 years. For lack of a better name, I suppose 
it's chick lit--which means, it's fun, about a thirty-something single 
woman, is funny (I hope) and involves some romance. I like it, darn it, 
even if no one else does. I finished it this summer and have begun 
looking for a publisher. My editor at Bloomsbury just does children's, 
so I can't sell it to her, and I'm in uncharted water, or whatever the 
phrase is. And yesterday I got the news that Dial just passed on my 
Jane. 
I shall not give up! I will press on, friends, until that summit bows
 to my superior will! And then, if no one still wants it, I'll post it 
here for free download. Stories are meant to be shared, after all.
