Every day is booked to the hilt and spilling over. Still, I wouldn't have it any other way. That means we're accomplishing things. I'm the exact opposite of you with submissions. I stare at that blank space and tremble--which doesn't make any sense because I haven't had a rejection in a long time. Maybe that's why? Because I'm too terrified to submit?Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-72787257205248622016-10-05T14:41:30.881+01:002016-10-05T14:41:30.881+01:00Thanks Julie.
