"Many thanks for submitting "False Acquittal" for our consideration. Unfortunately, we must decline acceptance at this time. The editors felt that the story was good, but that it lacked the voice we like to see. But thanks for your interest in our magazine, and best of luck in placing your work with other markets."


Best get it submitted elsewhere I suppose!

Another step on the big ole writing ladder. Almost cheered me up from my bad mood, too. ;)

Welcome to the club. Pretty soon you won't be counting your rejections anymore, but measuring the paper stack. Mine's up to 2 inches (About 5 Cm)?
