After so many years of trying to be heard...maybe this will be the year...
Pushing and shoving with all her might She struggled just to see the light! Beneath a pile of crushing books She wondered if they’d ever look! Polished and tidied, she looked her best But sadly she looked like all the rest! She had a story she wanted to share And she hoped someone would notice her there! The slush pile was her greatest fear Worse than she thought, now she was here! All of the manuscripts vied to be seen And some of them were really mean! So the little manuscript quietly lay Until it finally happened one day! An editor rescued her from the pile And he loved her charm, her wit, her style. Now the little manuscript sits on a shelf So very, very proud of herself! Bound and stitched in the finest book Persistence was all it really took! © Annabel Sheila

Lovely work.

Cute story with hope springing eternal. Good luck; the best work rises to the top of that pile and I'm sure that's exactly where it's headed. Patrick

Annabel, my friend, I so appreciate your ongoing effort as it took me twenty-three years to have "The Climbing Boy" published. Good for you and I certainly do hope that this will, indeed, be the year your "Little Manuscript" will be published.
Your friend; Mark

Congratulations, Anna. I persisted for many, many years until I gave in and self published. The slush pile was a burying place for my manuscripts. I'm happy you found solace there.
