Well, didn&#8217;t do it. I was going over track changes corrections, and turns out it took longer than I expected to go through all of them. I&#8217;m currently on page 28 and my story is 49 pages long so far. Though I do anticipate it will get shorter as I go through and accept the changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But anyway, that&#8217;s where I am with that right now. I must admit, I&#8217;m both excited and apprehensive about turning my story over to an editor: I&#8217;m excited to see what they think and scared about how much they are going to mark it up. But it&#8217;s fine, I can take it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, I got my first job rejection letter in my email this week. One thing I can say, at least it was a pretty quick turnaround. I got the rejection about three after I applied.  What can I say, gotta appreciate their timeliness. It wasn&#8217;t a dream job, but it was a job I really wouldn&#8217;t have minded having&#8230;or so I think, because you never know what it&#8217;s really like until you get on it. But yeah, the job was close to him, plus remote, with interesting work and decent pay, more than I previously made. But alas, it&#8217;s not mine and will not be &#8212; just means it wasn&#8217;t for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, onward with the job search and onward with editing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is really a fine time to be in search for a job. The market is not very good righ now. But hey, I said I wanted a problem to solve, and I got one. I&#8217;m up for the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week I&#8217;m contacting editors for sure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be quick: Remember how I said I was going to query editors this week?
