Though I have only had one rejection so far this year, it was literally 12 minutes into the new year.<br /><br />I can't help but wonder if the timing was related to the disparaging comment the editor left about my story.

May I suggest a rottweiler chained in front of your inbox, as they tend to discourage unwanted visitors--but encourage rottweilers in heat to come sniffing around. Win some, lose some.<br /><br />As for rejections. Groan. The one waiting for me was from a pro pay anthology, by a highly respected author/editor, so I can't lament too much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675220785164388203noreply@blogger.com
