I got my Q3 results letter today!

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

REJECTION.

Which is pretty interesting to me because I THOUGHT that the story was better than both my quarter-finalists entry and my semi-finalist entry.

Shows what I know.

But I am not discouraged. I really like my new story a lot, and it will be ready to go before the 30th.

So, I have the first draft of my WotF story for 4th Q finished.  If anyone is interested, PM me.  No word yet on my 3rd Q submission.  I'm beginning to feel left out... :(  Luck to everyone finishing new stories!

Looks like I joined the boat of rejections for Q3 this year.  I'm beginning to think that I don't belong in the short story writing realm.

No, Dan. That's wrong. I liked your last story a lot. It was more organized and easier to read than the one before. You've got to keep pluggin' along. Your stuff is getting better and better. You should probably do what I'm doing. Most of my energy is going into my novel with breaks occassionaly to write a short-story in time to submit every quarter. I think the short-story discipline is tightening up my novel writing, and the novel writing gives me ideas for shorter works.  It's a marathon, man. Not a sprint. Sprints are for newspaper columnists.
