This rejection is proof that one little word can absolutely transform the standard form rejection into a personalized good rejection. See, fiction readers can change the world!
The Waiting Game
Everything in the literary world is behind schedule: that short story I submitted a year and a half ago to Zoetrope, the literary agents that placed my manuscript in the sludge pile after telling me they'll read my partial, one of my stories I gave William O'Rourke to publish in the Notre Dame Review more than a year ago, the Kenyon Review's online version of my short story "Cowboys of the Heart: the 6-DVD Boxset", Stand Magazine's Winter issue that "Nimble Calligraphy" will be published in + of course, the 2 PhD programs I applied to, none of which have responded yet. I expect some uncertainty + delay. Actually, a lot. But I what I don't expect, is uncertainty + waiting across the board.
My bad.
My bad.
Rejections, BLANK + Submissions
I finished my first chapter with Ginger Lin in section 2 of my novel BLANK, and then revised parts of the opening, which is still not quite done, but getting there.
