Two friends honored me with thoughtful invitations recently: one asked me to be her roommate, and the other asked me to hike the Colorado Trail with him. For personal reasons I declined both offers, but am complimented that they asked!
Based on those two invitations, it would have been a great week.
But then the Universe bestowed another pair of honors on me: Two editors responded to my pitches––even though they both rejected my story ideas.
One editor rejected my book proposal because it didn’t meet her international sales strategy needs, but she awarded me with another assignment. It’s a modest assignment but I look forward to building her confidence in me.
The other editor rejected a personal essay I had submitted, but was impressed with what she had read. She encouraged me to keep in touch and try again. (I will!)
