Turnaround

[dr_pretentious]

"Atlantis Cranks Need Not Apply" has already garnered its first rejection letter, just a week after I sent it out. Can't fault F&SF for slow slush processing. Inspired by their speed, I've just fixed the irksome paragraph breaks on page 2 and sent the document out to an e-zine that looks like a good match. I'd have preferred print, on general principle, but it's hard to find markets for a 25,000 word novella.

Turnaround time between opening rejection letter and submitting elsewhere: 35 minutes.

Rejectomancy is a tempting divinatory art, but I need more signs and portents to make for a good reading.

Sounds like a plot for a new short story: Psychic uses authors' rejection slips to divine their futures...
