My editor decided not to publish my story this week. I worked hard on it though, so I've decided to post it myself. It's a tough thing... when you're so close to living your dream and are met with difficult people as an obstacle. And, believe me, my editor is difficult.
I've come to expect difficult situations. But difficult people, especially in a professional setting, always seem to catch me off guard. I will, however, meet my editor's sass with compassion. Mean people live lonely lives... and I'm convinced that my kindness is my God-given strength.
