The shops are all shut and it’s raining. There is a man in beaten trousers. He carefully treads the street as though the pavement might break underneath him. I sit in the car and cry my eyes out. What do people do when they get soaked in the rain and have nowhere to go? They must just find somewhere to shelter and wait, the rain dripping slowly from their clothes.

Good job, Annie. I like hearing how violently (perhaps that's too big a word) active your muse is. You will be published, you know. And you will win competitions, too. My sense is that after the first breakthrough, there will be a lull, then multiple successes in a batch, all in the next few months. You have what it takes. And they will want you. Thanks, Sally. It's funny but I feel the same way. One day everything is just going to fall together.

Congrats on finishing. And for looking to get published. Far out of my league. Thanks!

given that fiction is so difficult (at least for some of us), i'd call it a HUGE "something"! Yeah, but it's still not publishable.
