Among my wannabe accomplishments lately:
My story Girl Power has been rejected again. You know the one. It took ages to sell it, and when I did sell it the publisher went out of business? Not only has it been rejected again (making me think it's just not good enough to sell), but it also popped up in an honourable mentions list on Allegory magazine (scroll to the bottom) as "worthy of being published, just not here".
Apparently I have brought honour to the line of my fathers. My fictional footling and flubbling has earned me a mention in the noteworthy people of the line of Cavanagh. Here I was thinking I'd have to prove my worthiness on the field of battle first. Phew!
