This rejection somehow feels good ... to be seen, to know that someone is there, looking at you from afar. Thank you Jeff. Sometimes us writers need to remember that we really are being considered when the radio silence pangs us for weeks and weeks and it feels like it's really about time to throw in the towel and put our teary eyes into the white sheets without a thought any more of it.

No. We will live to query another day!
