Sending good vibes and agree that sometimes you have to just wait for the right timing (something I need to frequently remind myself of).

Sending all the good vibes! I heard an indie publisher in a recent interview say that stories are cyclical. Needs and interests cycle around and to keep submitting because you never know when you'll hit a publisher's cycling interests. I also learned early in my freelance magazine writing career to have three or more queries ready to send out for every rejection. Also emailing you with another idea! Not to self-publish, btw.

I am sending ALL THE GOOD VIBES!! I love this wagon story. Was just talking with my writing group about how, for all of us, consistently when one door closes another opens and I don't care if that's cliche because it's also TRUE. The right door is just around the corner and there's an editor on the other side who is going to say, bitch, this is brilliant!
