The news felt like a sudden burst of sunshine within the confines of her cluttered room. Emily's fingers danced over the keyboard, responding to the email with a short, affirmative "okay." The rejection letter from "Literary Lights" had arrived. She quickly closed the laptop, a wide grin spreading across her face.

She started humming a jaunty tune, a sound usually reserved for the privacy of her morning shower. The world had just grown a little bit brighter.
