Dealing with rejection

In this case it's not too much of an ask – the reply from the zine I sent 'Displeasures' to made me think it was a dodgy outfit, and I just received a rejection from Fictitious Force for 'Fresh as the Bright Blue Sky' ... which I didn't have a great deal of faith in anyway.

I might try sending 'Displeasures' somewhere else – perhaps even to Andromeda – but otherwise I'm going to concentrate on finishing Truck Me during the next three weeks. Pushing up towards the 130 page mark now, which hopefully I should achieve sometime tomorrow morning.
