Two in one day
Clusters of rejections are dispiriting... but clusters of acceptances are wonderful!
I just signed up to this challenge a few weeks ago. Today I received my first acceptances for 2012. One from Untoward magazine for a tragi-humorous piece about a house cat trying to thwart a burglary, and one from Milk Sugar for a longer literary piece about an old woman coming to terms with her alienation from her children.
These aren't really big publications but I like them both for different reasons, so happy my work found a home there. It has also given me confidence to try some of the major journals next time.
Congratulations everyone for your wins!
