I did it!!! I did it!!!

I can't believe it!   Granted, I procrastinated all day before I did it, but I did it!  I mailed off my first submission today of the 8 I plan on sending out.

I kind of shook a bit before I could force myself to send it off.  Okay, kind of is an understatement.  I was scared off my gourd!  (Don't ask how scared you have to be to do that!)  But, I did it.  I think now that I have done the first one, I might be able to do the rest with a bit more easiness.

Maybe.

Okay, I am already dreading having to do it tomorrow.  Seriously, no kidding.  My heart is racing and I can feel the avoidance haze descending upon me.

The waiting game is the hardest.  This is when I tend to write more because I feel like I am caught up in a holding pattern.  I love it when they at least contact you to let you know they are not going to take it.  Otherwise you have to wait for three months or so before you are past the acceptance time.

Ugh!!

Excuse #7 -  I was too nerve wrecked to even begin to type today!  Omigoodness, it is soo fricking hard to just put yourself out there like that.

Question of the Day-  "Should each submission I make that is turned down be treated as a rejection or just a 'not right for this venue' type thing?

Have a great rest of the day!
