A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk. Green is happily relaxed, but Blue is alerted by something approaching. Green: What a lovely day for a walk! Blue: Look out, a fast cyclist is coming. An extremely fast, unidentified fox on a bicycle zips past Blue and Green, who turn to look at the cyclist with mild confusion. Cyclist: Hello, boys! Blue and Green, in unison: Hi? Once the cyclist is gone, Blue and Green turn to look at each other in confusion. Green: Do you have any idea who that was? Blue: Nope. Green: Me neither. The foxes shrug it off and continue their walk. Green: Just overcome by the unparalleled thrill of being an old man on a bicycle, I guess. Blue: Yep.

Charlie, a brindle corgi, stretched out flat and floppy on the back of a plushy orange sofa. He looks like a legless worm with giant ears. How does he balance up there? Nobody knows.

The incredibly rare giant furry inchworm in his natural habitat

Oooof *huggles*

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"

"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"

"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."

"A hippo? Tell me more!"

This is #BookyMcBookface sailing back from Rousay this afternoon. 💨🌊 #Orkney

Here’s what I told my daughter, Caroline, as she started her career as a freelance writer in her late 20s – but the advice, I think, would apply to how any and all of us choose to live our day-to-day lives. “Rejection is tough,” I wrote. “What I do – and what you may do – is pretty simple. First, write as well and as truly as you can. That’s always priority number one. Second, write about what matters to you and give it the time it needs to ferment. Third, stay productive – the more you create, the better your prospects. Always have something in development, whether you’re just daydreaming about it, taking notes about it or actually writing it. Fourth, keep at it. Fifth, as long as you have faith in yourself, it will pay off.” If I’ve learned anything at all from getting older – and I must have picked up something by now – it’s that life can be a yes or a no. So the sooner you learn to adapt to no, the sooner you’ll have a shot at yes. Guardian piece by Bob Brody

Excellent advice:

Great piece: "Anything can be rejected, and for any reason, and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. Certain rationales for rejection are forever beyond your control."

Yes! I have to send out a lot of rejections and there are So Many reasons, and none of them are personal. Keep going!
