I'm not Pollyanna, but sometimes…
Last night I received an e-mail from my publisher that they were dropping my novel. They had pressed me to send them my rough draft three months early and I did. At that point I totally stopped being comfortable with them. I have a learning disability; I don't like anyone seeing my first drafts.
I am a little sad I guess. I am angry. But mostly I am feeling a profound relief. I hate that I feel relived over something that should be a negative in my life.
I feel like I will be able to create again and work on the things that have been hanging over my head and maybe even participate in on line activities and get back to reviewing short stories again.
How 'bout you guys have you ever had something so negative feel so incredibly positive?

I have one thing to say, "let's move on and get this book published!" If you feel something positive from this negative moment in time then something tells me it is for the best. I know you will prevail.

And now we can edit at our own pace.

yeah - but I have those short stories to work on as well
