Hi, all.
Thought I’d give you an update on my stories. You’ve probably heard of my work-in-progress, The Galdur Snow Dog. If you haven’t, here’s the link to an old blog post that describes the book.
Anyway, I submitted my proposal for this book to another publisher, and I’ll see if they’ll give it a “yea” or a “nay.”
I’m also currently waiting to send a short story to a magazine when their submissions window opens. It’s a retelling of the Ugly Duckling, where the main character is an arctic fox raised by dogs. Then she realizes she’s a fox who creates blue light for the Northern Lights.
When you’re a writer, you have to be open to both acceptations and rejections from the publishing industry. If your writing gets accepted, it would be time to celebrate. *smile* If not, that doesn’t mean you can’t pick yourself up and submit it someplace else.
A fellow writer posted on social media “There’s Always Tomorrow” from the movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. She thought of it as her theme song, and I think it’s so perfect, I should share the song with you, too. If you’re a creator who has experienced rejection after rejection, I want to tell you to have faith that God has a plan for your art, even if it may not look exactly how you’ve planned.
Here’s to writing! Let’s keep charging forward.
