Last night, for at least the third time in my writing career, I received the dreaded unacceptance.
The unacceptance may be the only thing worse than the rejection.
For those who don't know, the unacceptance happens when an editor/publisher decides not to use your story after issuing an acceptance email. Sometimes it happens after rounds of editing. Sometimes it happens after a contract goes out.
Interesting post from short story writer, Nate, on reacting professionally to fickle editors...
Thanks for the reblog, Col!
No probs, Nate. I only reblog interesting stuff!
