*Warning*
This is more like, "Whining from the Desk". But I have received three rejection letters in the last three days. Sorry, I had to tell someone. That's rough, is it not?

Welcome
Here you will find writing prompts to jump start your imagination and inspire you as a fiction writer. Every Wednesday I post a first line which you can use as a starting point to write your own fabulous, tragic, magical, hilarious and hopefully award-winning short story. Want more? Check back often for other prompts designed to keep the words flowing. You'll also find the occasional author interview, book review or musing from me as I share my own journey as a writer.

Lori,
It is. Is it the same story? Can you rewrite it?
Did you get my e-mail? Does it make sense to switch how I'm writing if I'm not satisfied with it?
Enjoy the holiday.
Mario
Lori,
I remember reading that all writers, unless you are super famous, go through bouts of rejection slips. They just keep writing until one sells.
Good luck.
Mario
Thanks Mario. It was 2 stories. One I will be looking at again and will probably rewrite (again!). The other I am happy with and will just send back out.
It is true about rejections - it is simply part of the job.
I just emailed you a rather long answer to your writing question.
Cheers,
Lori
