Thank you, my friends. I was wearying of the struggle.

In regards to that, I direct you to IN MEDIA RES by Milo James Fowler:
http://www.milo-inmediasres.com/

Two of his short stories recently blinked their eyes at the readers from the printed page. One story, a warped take on WALL-E, had been rejected six times prior to this.

The other, "Like a Good Neighbor," is in the latest issue of Title Goes Here and survived fourteen rejections over three years before it saw the light of day.

Writing is a struggle. It is also more than that. Mark Twain wrote:

"Authorship is not a trade, it is an inspiration; authorship does not keep an office,

its habitation is all out under the sky, and everywhere the winds are blowing and the sun is shining and the creatures of God are free.

I could not consent to deliver judgment upon any one's manuscript, because an individual's verdict is worthless...

The great public is the only tribunal competent to sit in judgment upon a literary effort.

No man with a man’s heart in him, gets far on his way without some bitter, soul searching disappointment.

Happy he who is brave enough to push on to another stage of the journey,

and rest where there are living springs of water, and three score and ten palms."

My friends, I wish you rest along the journey.

    Your words about WEDNESDAY'S CHILD made my soggy afternoon. Yes, it began raining again. But so far nothing apolcolyptic! I hope you enjoy the rest of the stories, Roland
