Well, it didn't take all that long to receive our notes from the judges. And they all said they would have to say no to "Stargazing". I must say that I am somewhat surprised. There was no expectation of everyone loving it instantaneously, but I did not anticipate a triple no.
As far as Tina-Sue and I are concerned though that just means we move on to the next stage which is simply developing "Stargazing" on our own; no further involvement with the Small Press Idol competition.
Just to be clear - there are no sour grapes here. I'm not concerned with any of the critiques, comments, or compliments for that matter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I won't be the one to step on that.
Please don't trouble yourself with voting for us as we are pursuing "Stargazing" through a different venue. Quite possibly it may end up being self-published. We will continue to run this blog. I'll be posting artwork and ramblings. I'm not sure just what Tina-Sue will be dropping in, but there will be more of "Stargazing"!
Tina-Sue and I are dedicated to "Stargazing" and shall continue developing it. Thanks for all of the kind support.
Sadly, I know how you feel. I've had a similar experience. That was the reason I chose self-publishing. I have never regretted that decision.
