Rejection is fun
Got my first rejection for a story today. Good thing I got some advice from an editor beforehand otherwise I would be upset about this.
Actually the wording of the rejection isn't as bad as it could be.

"Although we enjoyed readingyour submission, we felt it was unsuitable for the anthology. We hopeyou find another market for it soon."

I just need to keep submitting it around till someone picks it up.

	An example of a bad rejection would be: Dear Jamie, your story is crap, and we hated it with a passion which surprised even us. You should incinerate it instantly and never, ever write again. Yours faithfully, etc.ect. So you can send it of to somebody else and keep writing! Are we going to be seeing you in the arse end of the world around Christmastime? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I shall be visiting the world's arse (now that sounds attractive) from the 29th of december till the 11th of jan. So there shall be much time to socialize it up. (Reply to this) (Parent)
