Good luck!

PS Kerry - I suspect that like me you're got yourself so hypersensitive to rejections that you now expect them as a matter of course. Unfortunately, it also gives us an aura of being no good, which puts prospective publishers off. I'm trying to get out of the habit, even if it is only putting on an act in public... hope you're doing the same... or even better, come up with a better plan...
 
Commiserations to the recent rejections (and all those before). Guts in my throat now. I've still got two in it.

Ditto, here. But it does happen, this being accepted even if it takes years....
 
Funnily enough, I've not had that many rejections yet, and the ones I had were almost all at the beginning when I subbed the novel on a first draft (rookie mistake). Since then I've had quite a lot of short stories accepted. I think it's more a lack of faith in my own abilities -- I only started writing in March 2014, and it's a steep learning curve. In the 30+ years before that all I'd written was the occasional veterinary report, exam papers, tax returns, and the odd academic paper. Not saying they weren't creative in their own way, but--

Still, onwards and upwards. I'm really rooting for you now, @vgunn and for @anthorn if he/she is still in (anyone heard from anthorn?). One of us has to do it!

Thank you for your kind words.

It's a pity I'm no graphic artist, or I would 'compose' some graphic tokens for people to take away from here to put on their websites... e.g. a cutlass, a long sword, a rapier, a light sabre... with suitable words wrapped round them.
 
Hmm
