THEN I get nervous. Will the e-mail be a contract offer? Or will it be a rejection? <br /><br />Up to that point, I'm fine.

It took so much time to prepare the package to be mailed and then wait three months or six months or a year. Some never bothered to answer. Some send a two-line form letter that breaks the heart, but some sent two pages asking revisions, forcing me to revise and improve. Developing a tough skin is part of the business.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809516973071462364.post-80913345745382151202009-05-14T10:49:00.000-05:002009-05-14T10:49:00.000-05:00Thanks Julia!
