I think it's time for me to review the stories I've been sending out again, to see if I need to tweak them. I'll also hit up a few of my literary friends who haven't read these pieces yet to see if they have any feedback. If you have interest in doing that, dear readers, please leave me a comment and I would be delighted to email them to you.
Happy weekend--hope it's rejection free! :)

Sorry about the rejection, but glad to hear it was gentle. I read something good in the latest issue of The Writer today. This person said that when she gets a rejection she finds it therapeutic to write a rejection of the rejection letter, something like: Dear XXX,
Thank you for your rejection letter dated June 30, 2009. After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection at this time. I have received a number of similar letters lately and, though well-written and compelling, your letter is not a good match for my current needs.
Yours sincerely,
Bug
(I couldn't remember exactly, so this is MY version of the sort of thing the author had in mind)
Ha! I love it! What a fun idea. Thanks!
