So I received a rejection yesterday. Not just any old rejection, but a personal rejection from one of the pro publications. My work was praised and analysed and favourably compared with another work (oh no, I reinvented the wheel?). Then they asked me to send more work when it becomes available.
During Worldcon, I learnt a new word – rejectomancy. As in ‘Do not practice this.’
But I can’t help it. I gaze at the entrails of the email and try to divine my future. What does it all mean? Is my work good, is it bad, is it …?
