It's funny, really. Because I'm sitting here in the wake of my first ever rejection letter, and yet I'm smiling

:D Thanks! Yeah...I figure, I didn't make it because I didn't follow the prompt, but when I submit a novel for publication there won't have BEEN a prompt. The writing was good -- and that's the hardest part (or so they say).

I still can't stop smiling, so here are some smiles for you: :D :D :D :D :D

[downerkid]

Rofl oh shit that's a lot of smiles. I'm getting squashed under the happy. Yeah, I think you could definitely write novels from what I've read of your stuff. GO FOR IITTTT.

"This letter tells me that I tried for something good and for something fine and that, though I have not succeeded, I am the stronger!"

You've got it on the nose! I feel so much more confident about my writing...I got an honorable mention! It's not first place, but it's closer to first than to last. And there will be many, many more chances where this one came from.

Yay for rejection!

But forget not the wisdom of Master Yoda, you must. "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

The wisdom of Master Yoda shall never be forgotten, so long as the Force is with me.

You have a very positive way of looking at this, and that's good. It is indeed your first try, and its good to know that this has only encouraged you more.

You're amazing, Candace.

Keep smiling and you'll get 'em next time.

You're inspirational.

If I'm inspirational then all of you are too because your encouragement is a large part of what keeps me at it!
