This week the post man delivered an envelope that I had addressed. Oh no, the dreaded SAE - it could only mean one thing - a returned submission. But hang on, the envelope was thin like it I=only had one sheet of paper in it. Maybe it was an acceptance.
However, when I opened the envelope there was the standard rejection letter and the cover sheet from the story that I had sent them. It was a magazine that I've never been accepted by before and for a couple of seconds I thought that I'd finally got my foot in the door, Sadly it was only a false alarm.

Colette, I really sympathise, I think I know that mag, too. AND they take ages to reply. Have they no feelings at all?
Apparently not Frances
Just dropped by from Teresa Ashby's blog. Wondered how far you had got down your list.

Rejection letters sapped my confidence even though the advice was to keep going. You will get there if you are determined to do so. Enjoyed your blog.
Thanks for stopping by ladies, I hope you'll come again. Linda I'm probably about half way through my list which is a little disappointing but there you go. I've learned to let the little stuff go.
