Pretty fucking chill. Accepting. Lost another friend last night (or i think he OD'd on Thursday), but thats life. People live and people die, just depends when your number comes up.
 
Disappointed. My novel got rejected by the publisher...oh well, I wasn't expecting much more. I guess it's already something that they wanted to see it in the first place :)

Damn you wrote that quick, I thought a couple months ago you were still hashing out ideas. Anyways bummer.

Oh, I just remember you giving a general overview of it. Didn't realize you finished it. How long was it and did they reject you with a form letter? Weren't you saying your aunt or somebody got some publishing company to look at it or were you just blindly sending it out?
 
Yeah, I finished it about a month ago although it could probably do with some more editing. It's about 300 pages and no wasn't a form letter, they explained specifically why they rejected it and stuff.
No basically a friend knows someone who works at this big publishing company and mentioned my novel to her. I ended up meeting with her, she read a few extracts and said she'd like to see the whole thing when it was finished so I sent it off. Haven't tried any other publishing companies yet, I think I'm going to work on it a bit more before I try sending it out more generally.
 
Makes sense. I've always wanted to have a book published I just have trouble getting anything in order. It's a lot of work.
 
Yeah...well it takes a lot of dedication I didn't think I had tbh. You just gotta force yourself to sit down and write for a bit every day. As far as I can tell if you only do it when you feel like it it never works out :\
Although I suppose I've only done the easy part so far anyway, hah.
 
Nervous.

I have orientation today because I'm starting at a new school April 1 and I'm afraid my social anxiety is going to have me crippled :(
