In today’s email: An acceptance (“Antimirus”, a little flash piece that I’ve been trying to sell for ages) and a personalised rejection (“Mail Order Witch” – they liked it, but it didn’t meet their guidelines as a contemporary story).
“Antimirus”, by the way, will appear in Stupefying Stories Showcase.
The work progresses.
Excellent work, evil twin.
That was the ninth market I’d sent that little story to. A personal record, though “Mail Order Witch” is about to equal it, I think.
And “Mail Order Witch” now surpasses it, since I got a form rejection within 3 hours. (Sadly, that part is not a record.) “MOW” goes out for the tenth time.
Your commitment to short fiction, I admire, as well as your fortitude.
Perseverance is the key to success.
