Sometimes when I feel like I'm never going to sell another story, I look at rejection letters to famous writers. <br /><br />Here are a few of my favorites: To D.H. Lawrence on Lady Chatterly's Lover: 'for your own sake do not publish this book.' To Sylvia Plath: 'There certainly isn't enough genuine talent for us to take notice.' On the Diary of Anne Frank: ‘The girl doesn’t, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the “curiosity” level.’<br /><br />See? Sometimes editors are idiots.

You're probably getting more exercise than you think! <br /><br />Duchesse is right - it's the November blues in October.

I won't tell you what this is doing to my already plump figure... and I don't give a damn right now.
