I'm better tonight. No sense in being angry forever. It's a waste of energy. I'm still hurt that I was denied a potentially great opportunity, but I'm trying to maintain the belief that another will come along.
It's just that finding a name for yourself is so hard in this business. When the chance comes along, you have to grab them...or just hope for another to come along later. I hate that. What if one doesn't come along later? Of course, that's negative thinking, but it's hard to avoid that tiny voice that creeps into your mind, telling you it will never happen.
But of course, a writer can't think that way. In fact, anyone trying to get anywhere in life can't think that way. Not continually.
So I won't. What's done is done and I have to keep trying. So I will. But it still sucks.

Oh, Ann. I'm so sorry. I know how important your writing is to you, and I know how important it is to you to succeed at what you love best.
It's not right and it's not fair for your employer to do what they are doing... but I think you're doing the right thing, the only thing, that you can do for now. Keep on keeping on, and keep writing your novels, and know that you will succeed. *I* know you will succeed.
