I finished polishing a 6700 word short story, "A Fairy for Bin Laden," yesterday afternoon and submitted it to Fantasy Magazine.
It only took them a day to reject it; I did notice that they use a form letter: the content was identical to a rejection from a month or so ago of the first story I had the nerve to submit for publication.
It's a nice and gentle rejection letter, all in all.
Within the hour, I turned around and submitted it for Clarkesworld consideration.
I keep telling myself that all writers have been rejected, from J.K Rowling to Hemingway; I just need to have faith in myself and stay level-headed and persistent.
A new story is in the works, about a female assassin with deadly nanotech in her blood.
