I got a postcard yesterday informing me that the little devotional meditation I submitted a few weeks ago to a magazine that publishes such things is being held for further consideration. IOW, I cleared the first hurdle and avoided outright rejection, so I'm pretty happy. And it gives me the encouragement I need to keep submitting stuff, because, hey, at least I got a nibble.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Damn right. Keep it flowing.

Shrug. It was topical, it's dated by now.

But everybody wants to be in the Atlantic...except now that they didn't publish Betsy.

The fact that they didn't publish Betsy puts them off my list. Because I read one of the things they didn't publish, and it was superb.
But I expect they honestly didn't get it out of the pile until the subject matter really had altered in realtime.

Damn, the Atlantic, though! Keep aiming high, Betsy.
