"It's all right. Don't worry about it. Nothing was your fault," Daisy assured Annika, her smile softening.

"I got rejected again!" Anikka blurted. She lowered her head shamefully.
(She's been perfecting her novel idea and has been rejected by publishers 23 times, this time being the 24th. Just a little backstory so you know.)
group
(Oooh! Okay, thanks!)
Daisy cringed and reached out to her friend, setting her hand in her arm. "I'm so sorry. They don't know what they're missing out on. You've got a brilliant idea, you just need someone who'll appreciate it."

Anikka shook her head. "I've gotten 2 times the rejections that J.K. Rowling got with The Philosopher's Stone in just 3 weeks. Maybe I should just stop."
group
Daisy frowned. Annika had a great idea, but she seemed to be the only one who wanted it published – besides her friends, of course.
"That's it!" Daisy exclaimed, snapping her fingers. "You could self-publish it!"

Anikka wrinkled her forehead. "How? I don't know how to do any of that stuff. I don't even have a cover!"
group
(I have so many people/RPs to reply to…)
"Well, the cover part is easy. And I'm pretty sure there are sites online you can use to self-publish," Daisy explained.

"I could start a publishing company. I've kind of always wanted to do that…" Anikka thought aloud.

Daisy smiled. "That would be cool! You totally could."

"We could do it together," Anikka suggested.
group
"That could be both fun and possibly dangerous," Daisy laughed. "Us, working together with stories? We'd never get any work done!"

"I mean, y'all are much better at artistic stuff than I am," Anikka pointed out.
group
"Pfft… You're a much better writer than I could ever hope to be," Daisy countered with a smile.
(I'M BACK)

(Hi, Nat!)
Bella nodded along with Daisy. "Yeah Anikka! Writing is a form of art too." She stated.

Daisy laughed. "Yeah, well, it's not empty flattery."
(Feet……hurt.
I had to use a pair of my sister's shoes bc I don't have any nice ones…..they were like two sizes too small…)
Bella nodded silently, before practically stuffing the res of her muffin in her mouth.

(Oooh, ouch…)
"Bella, you're going to choke!" Daisy teased her before taking a bite of her own muffin.
Bella paused for a second. "Mo Im mot!" She said, mouth full, before continuing eating her muffin.
group
"Bella!" Daisy laughed. "Seriously!"

Anikka giggled. She opened up her backpack and pulled out an empty notebook. On the first page, she wrote "Create a company to publish Serendipity."
group
(That's a pretty name.)
Bella finished her muffin, then stared down at her coffee. "See? I didn't choke."
group
"Thank goodness!" Daisy exclaimed dramatically.

"Don't know what we could've done without you," Anikka mumbled halfheartedly, writing down company name ideas.
