If it's not my best work, I expect it.<br />Thanks, Chris, I did that too on the advice of my fellow authors. I don't know where it went. But, I'm happy to say since I wrote this, I have since gotten back to the story, revised and resubmitted. I'm excited to say it has been accepted. It was definitely a learning experience. I always make sure I save the files if I don't open an already saved file.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-87797515294868358442010-09-17T14:48:40.040-07:002010-09-17T14:48:40.040-07:00Roseanne, always start writing by deciding where t...Roseanne, always start writing by deciding where the file should go and save from the first word. Computers are treacherous things, mine hides my files all over the place if I'm not watching. <br /><br />Your file may be in the temp files, my computer stuffs new downloaded files in a different temp every day. The first thing I do is take them out of there and into the edits file, if that's what I'm doing. Try doing a search for one of the characteristic words or phrases in the file through all the doc and temp directories.<br /><br />Chris H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-82619710053510060522010-09-17T08:11:31.573-07:002010-09-17T08:11:31.573-07:00Okay, that was too funny, but educational in the m...Okay, that was too funny, but educational in the mind frame of a writer. Rejections are part of a writer's life and if those who look at rejections objectively and can appreciate the help and move forward to flesh the manuscript further, they are the ones to move their careers at a more steady and professional manner. (Long sentence...need an editor. :)<br /><br />You, Roseanne, have great stories, so a few rejections to help you realize how to spruce up is all it takes. Does this mean I don't have to worry shipping more rejections to you now? heheheheMuseItUp Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026608500861642781noreply@blogger.com
