This may be odd, but I'm curiously proud of something that arrived in the post today - my first rejection letter for a piece of fiction I submitted for publication. The piece was an ultra-short short that I was encouraged to submit by an APA colleague who is a published author. It was submitted to Shaherezade (I can never spell that right) and, 6 months on and after some prodding, I got a rejection letter back today. They said it was well written and had some good imagery, but didn't treat the subject sufficiently originally for them.

So some good with the bad!

And I'm starting up the requisite pile of rejection letters I need before publication! Only a few thousand to go now....
