She's Got Issues

And by she, of course, I mean me.

I was told by the assistant office manager (that's not her title, but it's essentially her job) that the way I should deal with rejections is that, if I haven't gotten around to them in two months, I should just toss the resumes and not bother to send responses.  Which is a really weird thing to hear, since when I started doing the rejections, I was told that they wanted me to keep copies of everything I got and sent for recording & tracking.  Not sure what they were trying to record & track, but they said it was important, so I did.  I wonder if the policy changed, or if the person who taught me to do the rejections was just whacko (she doesn't work here anymore, so I can say that).

Writing has not been easy lately...There was the burst of inspiration regarding a story I actually didn't mean to write yet, but nothing on the chapter so incredibly overdue.  I've already had to revise the first section twice, had to revise my plan for the second section due to timeline/continuity problems, scrapped my original second section, re-wrote it, and have scrapped it again to go with a new narrator.

At times like these, I wish I was either insane, or had magickal powers.  I'd love to take all the voices out of my head, sit them down, and have a nice chat.  Of course, some of them deserve a good whallopin', but that's another story.

With bills almost caught up, my work life should become more interesting.  Or, at least, I live in hope.  At least there's a PARTY!!! tomorrow night.  Got the birthday girl a neat gift, and wrapping paper just as neat, and myself a cool new outfit.  Go me!

Thursday; it's not just the day before Friday; it's the light at the end of the tunnel.

Personally, I think at least sending some kind of response would be the decent thing to do, not to mention keeping them on file for future reference. But then, that may be the writer in me talking -- it's horrible knowing an editor has your submission, and there's no way of telling if you'll ever hear back about it.
