Back to Journal  « Trade Up - Our Firefox Commercial | Rejection 174 - WotF | Submission 274 » Rejection 174 - WotF June 9, 2006 On my tenth story sent to Writers of the Future, for the quarter ending March 31. Non-placing, and there was a hand-written note that said "Send more soon," but I'm betting that's going to be a common thing on entries this quarter and not a message specifically to me. This was the fastest response I think I've ever gotten from WotF. So out of ten entries over the last seven years, that makes five non-placers, four quarterfinals, and one semifinalist. I'm starting to think I just don't write the kinds of stories that get past the WotF first reader, since I've yet to get past her to the other judges. Also: the novelette I sold to Asimov's only made it to the quarterfinals (Asimov's was the second place I sent it), so even when my stuff doesn't suck completely, she's still not digging it. Wonder if I should rethink my intended story for submission #11. Filed under Happy Fun Log, Journal, Writers of the Future
