I almost missed an e-mail that went to my spam folder yesterday, a portion of it follows:
"Good News! I am pleased greatly by your poem "Beautiful Music" and shall publish it... Unfortunately, "Playing Solitaire" and "Freedom Summer Redux" pleased me insufficiently, and will thusly need find homes elsewhere."
Rejections are much more palatable when they are accompanied with acceptances.
Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Michael! :-D

ReplyDeleteThanks! The funny thing is that when I wrote this piece I liked it for all of a week or so and then decided I wasn't all that sold on it and shelfed it. Never submitted it anywhere till this submission. I threw it in as an afterthought to make a third piece to send off. Funny how we can talk ourselves in and out of stuff. Maybe I should secondguess myself less often.
