the author
the life of the children's author sure took on some realism after the first few rejections from the "publisher." i reckon a thick skin is a requirement cause the self-esteem can take a bashing. i haven't let this stop the creative :-) flow, as it were.i submitted a poem to another publisher this morning. i am [of course] wondering how that will go. i wonder if they will want to edit and improve or just say "nah" go jump in a hole till you have something worth looking at.
took a walk to see the doctor. things seem to be looking up. discussed the lowered stress levels of being an author against the perils of teaching. not sure they really are lower at all.
i do, however, like being my own boss.

try submitting them to American houses, especially in NYC. People often seem to embrace the foreign authors in a different light, almost attracted to it simply because it is not an American. Look up the blog, Miss Snark. Although I think she can be very egotistical and crass, she is quite brilliant and often has very good ideas. She is a true veteran of the writers game.I even had her linked at one point, about a year ago. But I quickly tired of her arrogance. Or did I feel intimidated, who knows but she is good. Have a great day, my friend!!
