Should've Listened to Mom...

It's a brand new day.

I wore my sunglasses this morning and the sky kept getting more and more blue as the morning unfolded. This follows yesterday. A day of every kind of snow you can imagine – heavy, light, mixed with rain, hard hail, and even an inch of accumulation at one point. But today is perhaps the brightest day that ever existed in Wrangell.

Today is also a brand new day for another reason. It’s officially the day after my first rejection:


Hi Lisa

I finally had time to read your submission. I don't think we will be able to use it however. It's well written, but for trips like this, its just really hard to get the feel we want in an article if you were not actually on the trip yourself and can give first-hand descriptions.

Please keep us in mind though for future articles if you plan to go on any adventures yourself, or if there are any issues you are interested in writing about...

As rejections go, I think this is a pretty good one. An encouraging rejection.
