Naturally, because the writing stuff is picking up, a whole bunch of technological stuff has to go and be all difficult on my lumpy arse.
I tried this awesome fangled feature to try and get some old e-mail accounts deleted - but it transfers all the old e-mails and contacts to your existing account. Did it work? Of course not.
Then the forum I frequent where I’m trying to promote my beauty-related writing goes offline for over 3 days because the old and new hosts can’t get their acts together.
Icing on the cake is HTML script in Wordpress funk. I had to put a password on two pages because the text and forms were not appearing as they should when the magic “Publish” button is pressed. Even worse, I know where all of this is leading - I’m going to have to talk to my friend/admin and it’s not going to be nice. Let’s just say that it will most likely result in me having to find a new host for this blog, as well as pay a professional for their technological expertise whenever I run into problems.
It’s not going to be doing me any favours to look like a hack when people are actually paying attention to my writing.
Oh, and I got a rejection for a submission - I only sent it on Monday! I’ve received a rejection before, but this was…really cold. There’s polite and then there’s…hmm. Caught me off-guard I guess. No, it wasn’t rude - not at all. Kind of odd that I took it personally at all.
But don’t worry - at least I’m feeling regular-person dismayed which is way better than depressed-person anything.
