It’s hard to persist in being optimistic and upbeat when you keep getting daily reminders in the mail that people don’t like you. Or at least like other people more than you.

I know it’s going to need more polish, but I think I’m getting it into much better shape than it was. It’ll probably be four drafts until it’s ready to submit, but I’ve got the time . . .
