#PBCritiqueFest 2022
It’s a beautifully rainy autumn morning and my hope continues gathering and pooling, like the sloshy puddles on our sidewalk. In querying, no news is still good news, in my opinion.

Averaging maybe two a day, with a very slow trickle of rejections coming through…which fills me with dangerous hope. In the meantime, I’ve been obsessing over our backyard pond.
