Rejection Blues

[ozmosis7]

Comments are good...means you are close or they wouldn't bother. I'm afraid most of us will be on this thread often. I've got so many stories out there right now, I'd doubt they all get accepted. I got a rejection last week myself.

[Ben Staad]

I have a feeling I'm going to become well acquainted with this thread (LOL)! At least the editor who supplied my latest rejection had a positive comment about my submission. He also provided a critique or two on how I could improve my story. This was certainly more feedback then I expected so it wasn't all bad.

What is "Red Fez", Alex?

Fezs are cool.

Haha! We all need nametags! Hello, I'm Caren and I'm addicted to the word "that". I've been in recovery for the last year.....

HAHAHA! I've been calling you Jim all this time! So sorry, Josh. It's the j and the m so close together, and I see the little "tittle" and think its an i!

No worries. I've been called a lot worse than Jim

Ha... I thought you thought my name was Alex! Totally didn't get the Jeopardy reference because I'm British, and because I'm considerate in manner, I didn't want to correct you by telling you my name is Craig. Hahaha.

That's too funny- I know exactly what mean because my name is actually Josh, not Jim, and I didn't want to correct you! My user name my first 2 initials (J.M.) and last name Craven. Haha- good stuff.

I was just lobbing a guess in the form of a question, Jeopardy! style. Isn't the guys name Alex Tribek?

[Craig Wallwork]

It's a online journal. I had a story published there called (aptly) Red Fez and Pancakes. right at the begining of this conversation, I assumed Richard was referencing them, but i didn't want to mention their name in case it was, and because this is a public forum there was the potential people could be lurking and take offence... Richard's not confirmed or denied that was the journal he was talking about, so I figure it's okay to say this at present.

Phew.. it got very complicated for a while there.

Wait, wait... RF? I found a place that would fit the tarboosh deal and all, but its AF...

[peteOcha]

Hahaha Does no one know what a tarboosh is?

If i'm thinking of the right thing its some sort of hat, correct?

Don't know many publishers though, so RF is still a mystery to me...
