A good review! And no rejections!

At last, a Monday that doesn't suck. There's a very positive review of my story "To Someone Who Needs Prayer" (from issue 61 of Hub) over at The Fix. And the other day, a nice comment about the story showed up in Hub's comments section for the issue, so yayness!

This was rather refreshing since my last few Mondays have been a bit depressing in the writing department. Three weeks ago, I woke up on Monday to three rejections, two of which were of the frustrating good-but-I-can't-articulate-why-this-doesn't-quite-work-for-me variety. And just to add to the pain, a fourth rejection showed up in my inbox later that night. Luckily, the Rejection Demons took the Monday after that off--clearly, they observe Labor Day. But then last Monday, it was another three-rejection morning, once again with a fourth one in the evening to top it all off.

So after all that, I was kind of fearing today. But amazingly, when I got online this morning, there were no rejections in my inbox. And when the postman came a little bit later, there were no dreaded SASEs of Doom awaiting me in the mail. Needless to say, I am much relieved.
