Taketh with one hand and giveth with the other.

Well what a few days I've had !
The roller coaster continued today when I went to a very important appointment with BOOK STORE only to be told to come back in february ?
She greeted me with "hello - sorry to have waisted your time.", she wasn't interested in my novel or in discussing it. When I asked why? She replied rather taken aback that because the shelves would be empty in Feb. I replied that that was why I was here before christmas. So that I too could have an opportunity to sell. Apparently no one in the store reads Fantasy and they don't sell a lot of it(?) I mentioned that they had a major promotion on for Fantasy this holidays and I noted it in the front window on the way in. She answered "yes well all BOOK STORES have to participate".
So I left after telling her that she would call me when I was a best seller.I then shook her hand and thanked her for her time anyway.
Quietly, I was reeling and hurt. Dejected I sought solace at the bead store with my three favourite people. We had a cup of tea and blammed the incident on the fact that I hadnt worn a blazer. Sally sugested jokingly that I should have dolled up to the nines with pearls and semi prescious stones.
- I felt like a sailor at a bar who had had his heart broken recieving well intentioned advice and then I likened the whole expirience of going to the appointment as simillar to going on a date with someone you really like and having them be repelled by you and desperate to get away.
Eventually with a headache I went home to lick my wounds. No sooner had I gotten home than I had checked my inbox to find an email from OTHER SAME BOOK STORE which said "we are happy to stock your book, bring them down". I thanked them profusely and promised to be in early tomorrow. - and I did tell Roger I was going to take a rest, what a liar I am.

Love and thanks Tina
