Rejection 101
Peter Slapnicher
I don't know what the next landmark is: 200? 500? 1000?
Any which way - that's what we're looking forward to now. Rejection 101 arrived from Sarah Blackman at Diagram. I can't seem to find my last rejection from them, but I think this one might be slightly more encouraging. Ms. Blackman gave me what seemed like a familiar line about my submission not being a "good fit," rather than it not being "good."
But then she said this, "We did admire this submission, and are certainly open to seeing more in the future." I don't remember seeing the word "admire." That's a new one, I think.
Movin' on up.
