My Muse Fusion was Interrupted

wyld_dandelyonBy an e-mail from the anthology that was holding one of my favorite stories from last year for final consideration. I held my breath, opening it.
The rejection was complimentary--but still, they had more stories they really liked than book to fill, and I have to find another market for mine.
Having chatted with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellenmillion during the selection process for the Torn World anthology, even though she was making all of the final decisions, I really empathize with the editor in question. But still, it took a lot of the wind out of my sails yesterday.
Oh, well. Gotta move on.
In other news, Ellen will be ordering the first print run this week sometime, as soon as the proof comes in (it's already behind schedule, so she won't dawdle). You can preorder it at www.tornworld.net if you want to.
If you want to buy one from me in person, let me know! I want to order enough wholesale to make sure my friends can buy copies, if they want them. But having been unemployed for so long, and with a garage to take down (by City order) and now a huge tree to trim too (when did the City get so interested in my property?) I don't want to overspend...
Certain parts of life would be SO much easier if I were rich.
Oh, and there's a poem that could be sponsored in Torn World credits or at my website www.wyld-dandelyon.com: The Sea Calls, $8. Just in case anyone who's read this far is interested.
