Scrapbooking growl
28-Dec-04
So, while working on my “Opportunity Does Not Knock” scrapbook today, I discovered that calligraphy ink will bleed right through origami paper when glue is applied to the back of it.
Which is unfortunate. I need to do the title page for “Intoxication” (a coming-of-age/coming-out short story I wrote in 1995) and I really wanted to use the hot pink origami paper for a triangle on the cover page. Ah, well.
In related news, I did the pages for the rejection slips for “Intoxication” as well as the back page, which describes the story and it’s history and has a little envelope and card for writing down its submission history.
If anyone is wondering what the heck I’m talking about, I started a scrapbook this year for my rejection slips and discovered that I don’t have enough rejections (i.e., I don’t try hard enough).
I have about 10 more stories to put into my scrapbook, all with 2 or fewer rejections, and one with about 4 or 5 rejections, because I’ve been more steadfast this year.
Anyway, I should probably get a point. Or a clue. Or something….
And, for no discernable reason, have a cookie icon.
