A couple days ago, I mentioned in another post that I got a rejection from Realms of Fantasy. I also mentioned it to a few writing friends.
The majority of them said, “Don’t give up.”
I have no intention of giving up. It’s one of my dream markets and I will have a piece in there eventually. (Speaking of, I need to print the next one that I want to send and get it out to the mailbox before the mail runs.)
I must be easily amused because I wanted to laugh when people kept saying “Don’t give up.”
After I get that in the mail, I need to work on some queries, an article, and a book proposal. Perhaps I shouldn’t have typed that all out. It looks daunting, especially when I also take into consideration that I want to work some more on my current fiction WIP.
What are you easily amused by? What is it that people tell you that makes you want to laugh out loud, literally?

When they say something like “OMG, I’m melting. It’s so hot and it’s only 88 degrees.” For real? You wanna melt? Come visit Phoenix. It feels like an oven that’s been set to 350 degrees!
I forgot to add: I am in the process of having my business site re-designed and I have two versions up on my blog.
All feedback is welcome, particularly from teens as my company is a publishing company for teens.
There’ll be something in it for you. I promise.
