I *was* all happy because I got my package from hazel, with my awesome snazzy cuffs (to be pictured once I can put together a suitable outfit), and Jola's dog sweater (which fits...ish), plus SNAKS.

However when I checked my actual mail box, there was also a rejection letter from OnSpec for Keep off the Grass. At least with OnSpec there is usually some sort of editorial comment to show why something was rejected. This one, they apparently agreed (which suggests more than one person at elst read it?) seemed like more of a fragment of something longer, and didn't work for them.

Of course, it didn't seem that way to me, but I lack perspective. I could have seen if they'd said the ending was ambiguous, or similar...

I don't know. I really don't. the only other story I have out at the moment is Shadow of a Place to Apex, but that is a long shot. An especially long shot, even, as I submitted it for a science-fiction-y special edition. I do have some other stuff on the go, writing wise, but this makes it really hard to try and find the time to work on any of it, over and above my other commitments and general lack of time.

Fail fail fail! It does not help that I am already having a crap day, and am over tired but too strung out to nap. I just feel like I'm fumbling blindly through all parts of my life, and I'm never going to make it anywhere in anything.
