Writing Update:
I got my first rejection letter tonight. I submitted a short story to On Spec (a sci-fi short story magazine) and I was told my beginning paragraph was good and that it tugged at the heart strings. But I was also told I need copyediting as the rest of my story had punctuation errors.
It was a punch to the gut for sure but then I reminded myself that Stephen King was rejected too when he was starting out.
I enrolled in a ‘creative writing’ correspondence course. I’m hopeful this will help me to improve my work and someday be published by someone other than myself...and maybe get paid for it!
My creative journey continues.
