44 day rejection

[j_cheney]

"Whatever Else" by ROF. I'm now at 3 blue and 2 yellow. I'm backsliding.

Here I was all pleased because I'd gotten my 'out' list up to 3 stories, and it immediately slides back to 2. Must get this one back out! It's an odd-ball story, so I'll have to think about it and try to find a good market for it.

ETA: Finished the first draft of the new "Shared Dreams" and it's off to the first reader.
ETA (a bit later): above story is off to Weird Tales. Back up to 3 submissions!

yeah, the backslide is sometimes the most demoralizing part of it; it's like "what am I doing different than before!?!??!"

anyways, better luck with the next round

Thanks! One of the reasons that I read the blogs of people like Eugie Foster and Richard Parks is that I take comfort in knowing that they get rejected too....If they do, then it's not that unusual. ;o)
