Duotrope musings...
Nov. 25th, 2007 02:52 pmHad a story go red on the submission tracker, and somehow I suspected something more....impressive. Flashing, glowing letters. Something like that. How anti-climactic!!
Anyhow, it's with an anthology (CP) that appears to be holding some mss for triage later. I don't think I'm going to query. I've noticed some people on Speculations mentioning rejection dates around 70 days (others as low as 37). I'm currently at 69, so I'll just hope he's holding it to give it further consideration.
Fortunately for me, this is one of those stories that people 'think about' after they've put it down, which gives me a faint glimmer of hope. The rejection on Saturday left me feeling inept (which rejections always do).
ETA: Must clean up Masks of War and get it out this week. Shooting for...Friday's mail.
