I was just thinking—about been a hot sec since I got a rejection—in the morning, and I got one in the afternoon. (The week had been pretty busy full of rejections… and also one acceptance—more on this later when I can share the details) #2026WritingJourney #AmWriting #WriteEditSubmitReject

Caught up with a lot of things to catch up with in March, so definitely won't be sending out too many stories, but expecting a whole lot of #rejections, just got my 2nd one for the day, and 4th one for the month. #2026WritingJourney #AmWriting #WriteEditSubmitReject

One of the magazines that I like, sent me a rejection, gotta check how long to wait before i can send them something new I also withdrew a story from another magazine (which on average takes 2 days to reply and is now at 3 weeks mark) so I could confirm an acceptance #2026WritingJourney #AmWriting

I check the submission grinder very regularly on who sent out acceptance/rejection, and looking at Flame Tree Publication being more active wrt Horror and Folklore call they had back in September, I'm quite excited to get a response (most likely rejection) #2026WritingJourney #WriteEditSubmit

Houston we have a lift off! After 18 Rejections since last Acceptance, I got my 3rd acceptance for the month last night 🎉 Very excited that another one of my weird little stories found a home (while you wait for this, check patreon?) #WritingCommunity #WriteEditSubmitReject #2026WritingJourney

I suppose the 16th rejection for the month is a sweet enough reason to update this thread. (on the other hand, I've also sent out stories to 27 market this month) #WritingCommunity #WriteEditSubmitReject #2026WritingJourney (p.s. a reminder about commissions being open, check pinned post)

I sent out a new story for an anthology call, and just as the email went through, I also received an email instantly from a different magazine with a new rejection 😂 Universe keeping a balance. #WritingCommunity #WriteEditSubmitReject #2026WritingJourney

So @[email protected] just revealed the cover (on insta) for The Anthropocene Epic — and I love how gorgeous a book cover this is. One of my stories got selected in this anthology, and can't wait to share more details! #2026WritingJourney #WriteEditSubmit #AmWriting #BookSky #DarkArt

I wasn't too far off from my expectations, just got the mail from Apex, planning to return to the first draft (which was closer to 1500 words, before I brought it down to 1000 for Apex) and send it out to one of the magazines I have been considering for it #2026WritingJourney #WriteEditSubmitReject
