My First Rejection Letter

[aamcnamara]

I am unreasonably proud of it, maybe because it means that I actually got up the courage/fortitude/momentum to send the darn thing out.

I plan to hang it on my wall. Hopefully it will not spend very much time there alone.

... of course, some acceptances would be nice, too, but I don't have much control over that end of it. All I can do is keep sending things out--which I will.

On the rewriting front, I have some notion of how to revise one of the other stories I wrote at Odyssey. On the writing front, I've gotten a few ideas, but they are clearly all cliched and terrible.

It's already out again. I figure, the less time it spends sitting on my desk, the less time I have to remember how bad it is and how no one in their right mind would ever accept it.
