It's like that, Randy. Sometimes nothing fits, then a few months later you sell a ton. It will get better.

Thanks Richard. If you'd like, I'll do you one better and send the story to you. Send me an E-mail address and I'll send it to you as an attachment to an E-mail if you'd like. That's the only way I know how to send it. Maybe if you have time you could point out some flaws or weaknesses I need to work on? Or tell me its a publishable/sellable product? I know you're really busy and I'm probably being forward but I'm kind of proud of how it turned out.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I don't come here much anymore. My new job is with the state of Texas and they forbid it. I'm glad I found a way to hook my laptop to the Internet through my phone. I'm trying to write in the mornings before I start work. It's something anyhow.
I just got my first, somewhat, personal rejection. It came from The Puritan magazine. They told me that I made it to the top tier of the editorial process but had to pass this time. Of course they encourage me to submit something else. I've been rejected by them in the past and it was a much shorter form rejection. So, that's good news. I must be getting better.
Hope all is going well with you folks.
Oh yeah, I just finished my last two articles for the final issue of Dark Recesses Magazine. We are waiting on Jeff Strand and Cody Goodfellow to submit their's, and then it will be time to publish. It's kind of sad to be saying goodbye to DR, but it will certainly free up my time for myself.
Later people,
MLD

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. A recent Amazon book club rated "The Great Gatsby" somewhere between so-so and poor.

I got a form rejection from Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine yesterday after four days. While I'm mightily impressed with their turnaround it does leave me worried for my story!
On a different tack, I've bookmarked Richard's incredible list of markets from page 7 of this thread, even if it's a little old now. My belated thanks, Richard!The home of your least humble servant, Mr Poll: http://lucianpoll.com

Don't let a rejection worry you about a story. There are many things that have nothing to do with the story's qualities that will effect a certain publications decision.Originally posted by Lucian Poll View PostI got a form rejection from Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine yesterday after four days.
