Word challenge: CACHINNATION (what you can do for only a few minutes before following Asimov's advice below)--see end of post for definition
American science-fiction novelist Isaac Asimov wrote: "You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. Yu send that work out again and again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success--but only if you persist."
So for all the writers out there who are discouraged by a rejection (or perhaps even rejections), keep on trying!
Martin De Leon research fact for the day: De Leon used a three-pound cannon to scare some Karankawas.
The word "cachinnation" means loud or hysterical laughter.
