Aw, thank you - true confession, currently they are Fake Glasses, I've had them for a few years with the intention of getting prescription lenses put in, but it is SO EXPENSIVE and I haven't been able to justify the expense. Someday...

Linda, thanks so much, that's really kind to say.

Aw, Sumitra, thank you so much - I sewed this one with scraps from other projects and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

in a row (an acceptance resets the count) I get to go to Toronto's best sushi restaurant.

And remember, if you're submitting your writing to litmags, that someone, somewhere, is going to love what you have to say. (end)

rejection for the piece I sent to Agni. (Good to see it there in my submissions queue as a reminder that sometimes I don't feel like I'm bad at everything, some days I'm WILDLY OVERCONFIDENT *laughing*)

What's the Sushi Rejection Project? If I can collect 100 rejections (3/??)

as my settings get, so actually diving really deep into nature for this one and then getting an acceptance is HAPPY-MAKING. Before the acceptance I was at 4 / 100. Looking ahead, I've sent my most deeply bizarre piece out and fully expect rejections, will keep you updated. Oh, and a future (2/3)

What's yet to be added: collar stand, collar, buttons, sleeves (I'm wearing a t-shirt under the half-finished button down shirt).

Are simultaneous submissions okay?
