For my first personalized rejection, I received a postcard with a single handwritten word. “Sorry”. On good days, I think of it as an apology. On bad days, I’m sure it was a critique. But on any day, it’s better than nothing, because an editor read my work and responded.
David Holloway lives in Savannah Georgia and has had work published in Gargoyle, The Antihumanist, and Agnes and True.
David is definitely a great writer. I can relate.
Thanks Edie!
A good day for sure. At least there is someone in that great abyss into which we pour our heart and soul.
Thank you Carol- that’s what I wanted to convey.
I agree that on a good day, it feels good to have submitted and received a response of any kind! Thank you for this reflection.
Thanks for reading and commenting Del
