This too came ages ago, but like before, I’ve been dealing with an infant who demands my attention 24 hours a day. And that is only a slight exaggeration.
This is the first rejection letter I’ve received in the mail so far. It made the whole, “Sorry, we liked something else better.” more real in a way. I knew as soon I as I touched the envelope, it being so thin, that it wasn’t them replying to tell me how awesome I was and how excited they were to put my work in their magazine. Being an actual tangible rejection, I debated burning it, but that seemed childish and I didn’t. I really wish they had something more critical to say about it.
At least I know they read the title and took a few seconds to write it down on their form before stuffing it back in my SASE.
