The good: I finished Chapter Eight today.

The bad: My article on GenX women and adoption was turned down.

The not so bad: It was the same kind of rejection I always get--"Your piece is good and well-written, but it's just not right for our publication"--which is not entirely soul crushing. But they're giving me an opportunity to revise and re-submit, if I don't decide to market it someplace else. Or they're willing to let me try again with a different project. So now I have to decide what to do. Revising it to their specifications will be more work than I'm sure I have time for right now, plus this editor seems confident that I'd be able to sell it to a women's magazine with little trouble. But this news site pays well and it's all respectable and I really want to prove myself to them.

Decisions, decisions.

I wish I'd hear back from iHero already.
