Rejection #113 on Submission #198
March 7, 2005

(Selected republication of old entries from the pre-Movable Type journal...)

Last out, first one back. Four Day rejection on a humor story sent to Carnifex Press for its latest Clash of Steel chapbook-anthology: "...passed it along to our second round of reading..." but "...not a proper fit with the already accepted tales." Pretty well traveled for a four day turnaround.

The rejection came in on Friday, straight to my junk mail folder, which I guess now handles every other hotmail address with rubber gloves. Have to start cleaning the folder out more often, though with over 250 spams a day and over six thousand unconfirmed messages currently piled up...

Sent the story back out this weekend as Submission #199 to an unusual project, not for its own publication, but as an "audition" to write another story for publication if this one's accepted. World's a crazy place.

Now what piece is worthy of my "200th Sub?"
