SaddogI’ve been a sad dog lately.

I received a big rejection the evening starting off Labor Day weekend. At least the rejecting press gave me two free poetry Acebooks just for playing.  

But this was a big one. I spent 10 years working on a project with a primary publisher in mind. In the past 10 years, granted, the publisher has changed. But I felt I had to give it the old college try.

So it was a #PickingUpThePiecesSaturday for me, listening to ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All” on iPod repeat and crying into my hard cider (ACE brand is my personal favorite).
