Okay, I think it's about time I get over my negativity kick. No more wallowing for me, at least for a while.
My mom and sisters are here for a week, for my niece's wedding, which gives me a good opportunity to pick their brains about the last of my fine tuning and cement some details I wasn't quite sure of. It's also given them a chance to express some concerns about the book, and hopefully have them put to rest.
I'm not stressing about getting the last bits done right this minute, there are just a few more tweaks to make before I send it out into the world to make it's own way.
I'm not sure whether rejection will be a relief, because it gives me that much more time before I have to face any repercussions, or a more jolting pain than the other rejections have been. They say don't take it personally, but I'm not sure with this manuscript I could help it - it would be part of my life they are rejecting.
...oops, almost sank into the wallow pit again. Sorry about that.
However it goes, it will be, at the very least, finished - and that is something I thought I would never accomplish. So KUDOS for me on that front.
Would you like a glimpse into the story itself? Here, I'll give you one... or maybe two. Enjoy.

Cute pictures! Have fun at the wedding. =)
I'd call this photo set 'intriguing'.
(Rejections are utterly meaningless. Utterly. Meaningless. -- Like the bus stop you didn't get off at.)
Whether the rejection comes or not, you have finished a book. You have powered past that FOURTH chapter and written something poingant and interesting. You did it girl. :)
Love you.
Wow. I love the pictures!
Don't worry Weston. You'll find your fit with this story. I promise. I know it sucks at the moment but all these rejections only lead up to that really great acceptance. It'll happen. Just hang in there.
