Publication Attempt

I have sent in a story to Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine just to see if I could get it published. I know that writers often get rejected, and even the greatest authors have been rejected.

But nobody faults them for trying, do they? So, I figured, since the last time I even tried was four or more years ago (a different story in a different magazine or book), I ought to try again.

It was interesting to note that when I visited the post office with my manuscript, I had that feeling of "butterflies in my stomach." According to the Writers' Guidelines, I've got about 8 weeks to wait before I know whether the manuscript was accepted.

We will see where this leads.

Good luck. The successful writers are the ones who get rejected and get back up!
