Something Reassuring

I received a rejection yesterday—it was a long shot, and I’d told myself not to pin any hopes or dreams on it, though of course I did anyway.

But it would have hurt much worse if I hadn’t listened to the words of a wise man earlier this week. The full text is available, if you would prefer to read them.

Thank you, Mr. Gaiman.  I’m not quite ready to see this as a step forward, yet, but maybe tomorrow . . . And I think I might have made a little good art today.

The most reassuring thing about this, though, is that it was sent to me by a good friend with uncanny timing.

Thanks, Lyra.
