Rejection #33 – a 29-day rejection from Fantasy & Science Fiction. This was my 9th submission to F&SF, and was the first to make it up to Gordon. I’m relatively good about the reject, since at least it made it past JJA.

In more cheerful news, I’ve finished the lighthearted action story that I’ve been working on. It ended up being 6000 words, not the just under 5,000 that I was expecting, but I’m feeling pretty good about it. If nothing else, it counts toward being productive.
What story was it that made it to Gordon?
The story is ‘Pageant Girls,’ and it’s about a dead girl who competes in one of those kiddie beauty pageants. (It hasn’t been through the crit list.)
Sounds cool! I’m sure it will find a good home elsewhere.
An alas! Hooray! That’s wonderful. :)
Yup :) It’s been a goal of mine to get a story through to Gordon — now I have to move on to the harder goal of getting one accepted over there…
