My manuscript came back to me. It's disheartening, but not entirely unexpected. I don't expect to become an overnight success (but I wouldn't turn it down). I know the folks at Asimov's are hard working, but I would have loved to know what they were thinking when reading my manuscript. Unfortunately all I got was the customary form letter. It would be cool to know if it was the story itself, or a misplaced comma, a cliche, an extraneous line of narrative, that caused them to put it down. It could be so many things.
Well, this means that I can start sending it out elsewhere (publishers no likey simultaneous submissions). It's a slow process, but hopefully, eventually, a rewarding one.
If you've had a similar experience, please share. But more importantly, keep on writing.
