Sigh. Imagine what it was like for us to have some *old* stuff published -- say ten years old or older -- that had been rejected over and over ... like The Tomorrow Log. Then it hit the Locus Best Seller list... and there was Master Walk... which has gotten good reviews and was over a decade old when published.

I think Rolanni is right, though -- the more your write the more you try to do and the more you become your own toughest critic.

Keep on typing....
