Well, my submission has been proofread by three different people. I didn't want to ask Ticara to do it at the moment. It felt like it'd be insensitive with all that she's going through. I promised myself I wouldn't get too attached to this story, so the rejection wouldn't hurt so much. I failed. I've completely fallen in love with my characters. Now I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach and want to read the submission twenty more times. I hate this feeling.

I just realized the avatar I picked out fits me perfectly right now, haha. I'm too easily amused. Gah. I wish I could send it in and get instant feedback. I know that's impossible, but that doesn't stop me from wishing it could happen. I need to pick up a really crappy book or something. One that makes me think, "God, if this crap can get published, so can I!" Maybe I'll pick up my cousin's book. (ZING!)
