Oh, my, sissy. Suddenly finding yourself with full custody of a 3yo is... a bit daunting. You have my permission to wallow in whatever you would like--self-pity, chocolate pudding, a bubble bath.
I know what you mean. After a while, it gets harder to convince yourself that the acceptance letter is "just around the corner."
But if you think about it, even if you aren't getting any closer, you aren't getting farther away, either. By which I mean, getting rejected doesn't actually change anything. There's nothing at stake, nothing to lose, as long as you don't let it get you down. So, they didn't take this book. Big deal. It's not like that's the only book you're ever going to write, right?
Of course, I can say all this now that I'm off the Singulair. A month ago, it was all I could do to compose an email, and I wasn't sure I ever would write another book. When life bowls you over, about all you can do is hunker down and be patient until the storm blows itself out.
3yos take naps, right?
