Damn right. Keep it flowing.

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

If I only had a brain...
I got a rejection slip from the Atlantic.

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.

Wrod, that was what I wanted to say, but Consuela said it better.

"I'd rather discuss the permutations of swordplay, with an undertone of definite allusion to sex." Beverly, offering an example of when your characters give you 'tude.
(don't know Atlantic... Canadian ignorance?) I once submitted to this local snobby literarary type journal (I may have told this story before) and on the rejection letter they spelled my last name (a German name) completey wrong. My friend, however got it worse - his piece was called ''A Scar in the Attic'' (a dark piece about death) and they wrote ''A Star in the Attic'' for his rejection letter. We still joke about it making various broadway-style hand motions and mock tapdances.
