Received Rejection #5,508 Today

0 words today. My emails took precedence today unfortunately. I hope to be back at it tomorrow. I still think I can finish the book this week. Might be magical thinking, but maybe not. I heard back from the TED people today…the decision was no. Overall, I’m grateful...
