Getting back to school

Nothing much has been happening lately, so far still no good news. I recieved a few more rejections but luckily I don't have much time to dwell on them anymore with high school having started. Unfortunately, on that same note, due to my lack of free time my two new books are getting sort of abandoned, too, despite my best friend's constant prodding and encouragement... she looks at my whole writing in a much more positive light than I do, and is constantly telling me that counting rejections IS NOT HEALTHY! I actually did stop counting though, although I'm guessing I'm at probably around thirty... yet she claims chicken noodle soup for the soul was rejected 140 times, so maybe not all my hope is gone!

Rejection

Still no positive responses, but at least there was only one rejection email in my inbox today- yesterday there were four. It makes me wonder why I'm trying so hard, when all I receive are negative responses. Why are fourteen-year old girls so underestimated?
