Happy almost-Friday, my friends!
This week life managed to surprise me in a good way. I’ll be honest with you…I liked it!
Some of you may remember the plethora of posts I’ve written about my writing rejection, i.e. Let’s Play The Schadenfreude Game – A Writer’s 1st Rejection, Chopped Liver (A Writing Rejection Merry-Go-Round), and Becoming More Lizard-Like (Another Ode to Writing Rejection).

At one point I became so full of sour grapes over my Huffington Post rejections that I immersed myself in bath of negativity.

My darling Jess, I’d like to share what I wrote back to you over at my blog-er-oo:
“Jess,
#1) You are AWESOME to support me – it’s so wonderful I can’t begin to thank you enough without sounding inebriated, and
#2) Can I hire you to be in charge of my P.R. when I win California SuperLotto Plus??? Don’t laugh – here’s true story: At 16, I bought my friend “B.J.” (Yes. Snicker all you like, I always wondered about that nickname, but she was lovely and the “B” stood for Breshaun) 16 Lotto tickets for her 16th birthday and she won $100!!!
No one won the 21 million last night, so I’m totally going for it on Saturday. And then I’ll win and hire you! It can be a temp. side job as your writing career skyrockets and takes over….. :))))
Thanks again!!!!! XOXOXOXOX
