I understand that while I might not want to publish a particular story, that doesn't mean it might not be exactly the sort of story the <i>next</i> editor who sees it wants. Conversely, just because an author has sent me a story I find unacceptable, that doesn't mean the <i>next</i> story that author sends me might not be brilliant.<br /><br />I do keep a few soul-crushing standard rejections in my quiver, but a writer really has to <i>work</i> at being offensive in order to earn one of those.~brbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845253722980029012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773759989225356372.post-7413086177130955792018-10-21T07:35:11.043-05:002018-10-21T07:35:11.043-05:00At the risk of sounding like a toady, if that'...At the risk of sounding like a toady, if that's how you end your rejections then good for you.
