My last entry in WotF received a Honorable Mention. That would be my sixth, I think.
Not quite the big good news I want-that I have referenced in previous posts- but it is something.
Now I can send out this one to Lightstream. Maybe the story will partially grab John Jacob Adams who is there. One of my earlier stories has partially grabbed him. He said a couple of nice things about it. That was years ago, and of course no one else thought even that much about that story.
Congrats! :) I'm still working up the nerve to submit anything. I'm really a terrible coward.
ReplyDeleteThanks....
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say that if you do get a rejection you will be in great company. Not mine. :) but all of the great writers get a ton of rejections. Sorry to say it's part of the process. Like falling down when you're learning to walk.
One or three magazines will even give a couple of hints of why they rejected your story. Books are another matter of course but still the basic idea is the same. Most famous writers got many rejections first.
