Rejection number 10 of my attempts, and the first of 2006. Yay. What hurts more about this is how anti-climactic it is. You wait for months and months and months, not quite forgetting about it, wondering, then you get a three sentence rejection, and that's it. Back to the list, find another freaking magazine to read it, and then make you wait six months to tell you they hate it.

What a profession I decided on.
