Yay, I received my first rejection today for my first flash fiction ever submitted. Well, maybe I shouldn't be happy, but at least it means I submitted my short story AND someone read it. Besides, it was my first submission, and I was almost sure my letter was too awful to get accepted, even if the story was good enough. It's been so long I didn't expect an answer anymore.
In the answer was "Please understand that this
No most likely means "Not Quite the Right Fit," not "No Good." ". I guess it's just a sentence they always write at the end of the rejection letter not to discourage the writer?
I still have two other submissions, (flash fictions too) one of them with pretty high hopes.
Anyway, just wanted to share my first experience of the n'th circle of hell.
