Back in October I made my first original short story submission. Two weeks later it was rejected. Two days after that, I submitted it to a different magazine.
Three months later, I was notified that my little baby made it out of the slush pile and was being considered for publish.
Two months after that it was ultimately rejected.
Whew! This process is hard ... and LONG. Five months for an ultimate no. I drawered the story for the moment while I work on novel revisions. I'll try submitting somewhere else later in the fall. Still, this was a nerve wracking and challenging time.
The rejection said that it was a close call and they hope to see more from me soon. I want to believe that they're not just being nice regarding the close call.
