sinanjuYeah. Got two form rejections today. These are from the same market where the editor emailed me with a personal response to my first effort. Bummer.
Must. Practice. Rejectomancy!
Okay...form rejections, but the reason checked was "other" (i.e., not the quality of the writing or the other standard reasons) and there was handwritten explanation of what the other reason was. So I know where I failed with these stories. Which means I can try again with new stories. This isn't as encouraging as the previous rejection, but--well, rejections are just part of freelance writing.
I'll see if I can find some other markets to send these stories to. But later. Right now it's time to go sulk in my cave.
