Disappointing news. I was not selected to recieve any funding from the Black Rock Arts Foundation. I have learned that I should always ask for feedback , so I wrote to them today and asked for a detailed review of my grant proposal.
Mostly I just wanted to whine and say... 'But, WHY NOT?'. However, I realize this is completely childish and I should be more professional, so I asked like a grown-up instead. Truth be told, I wasn't feeling very grown up, I was feeling rejected. Definitely need to transcend this state if I continue to pursue grants or I will be a wreck.
That is the 3rd 'NO' I have gotten this week on some pretty important situations. Oh well, I am not one to take 'no' laying down. I figure if I keep submitting, keep writing, keep asking, then someone will eventually say 'yes'. It is all part of being an artist. All soft and mushy on the inside, with a hard shell on the outside... I suddenly have a craving for m-n-m's. or chocolate ...
On that note, I will be digging through the pantry for some hidden goodies to make me feel better. No issues here.
