Just this week, I received it back with a rejection letter explaining that they couldn't see a place for it on their list. I actually laughed out loud. Ha! I thought to myself. Who cares about you and your list? I don't. That's for sure.
Although nowadays, most rejections aren't devastating for me, this particular one was a pure joy. Why? I'd just gotten a book contract offer for that same story from another publisher. And the editor had told me they all loved it.
I savored the moment to the fullest. I wouldn't have thought that a rejection could actually make my day. But this one definitely did!
