Welcome to the club"Tha..."This means your a writer. Welcome to the club"<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Theresa! :) <BR/><BR/>I recently pouted to one of my critique partners that I have PRO pin envy. (The pin the RWA chapter gives out once you've completed a novel, sent it in, and received either a rejection or acceptance.)<BR/><BR/>Apparently, I still don't qualify for one because my story wasn't long enough to fit the guidelines. <BR/><BR/>But, gosh darnit! <BR/><BR/>Didn't I try to work on that baby even when I was suffering from the flu? Didn't I submit a query and suffer the torments of hell waiting for a reply, worried that I'm a hopeless hack, only to receive a request for the MS and brief validation? (Brief, because, now that I've sent it, I'm back to the throes of agony waiting for the next response and worried that I sent it in too soon.)<BR/><BR/>Oh! And didn't I try to share the news of the ms request with my daughter, who was as unimpressed & unsupportive as only a teenager can be, and had to find comfort from the only ones who could understand: other writers?<BR/><BR/>Well, dagnabbit - if all that doesn't make fit into the "pro" category, I don't know what does! (grin) <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad for the encouragement and support of people like you, Theresa. It means more than you know. Oh, wait. You probably DO know - we're in the same club.

Of course, we could try to pretend that it gets easier each time--but one look at our bitten fingernails will give the game away.<BR/><BR/>Besides, you're in good company. This means your a writer.
