Playing the waiting game
So of the stories I have out, three are running a long time, not a big deal.
But of the five I sent out in the last few weeks I have received two rejections already, from Not One of Us, and Vestal Review. One is for a long poem I am having a lot of trouble finding a market for, one of those hard-to-place pieces. The other was a piece of flash fiction that I really need to re-work. The other three that are out are stronger pieces, so I’m hoping for more luck with those.
On the upside, I finished revising another short story I’ve been working on, and it is going out this weekend. I also want to get a rough-draft revision done on the short piece that was just rejected. I also have everything I need printed for the residency done, and I’m reading the books I’ll need.
And yes, I think it might be spring here. Yea!!
