This year I wrote and submitted a book proposal for the book version of "Babes on Bay Street" (and a first draft of the book itself!!). It was a very scary proposition for me because like most people I don't like the prospect of rejection!! And believe me when I tell you this is an understatement in my case. I have gone out of my way in the course of my life to avoid rejection at all costs and it has cost me in many ways!! In any case, the "worst" happened and my proposal was "rejected" in the nicest possible way. Despite my great apprehension about being rejected, the whole process has energized me and sent me in a modified/alternate direction. And I feel unbelievably positive about the prospects for this project. Wish me luck!! xo, J
