On Not Letting Manuscripts Sleep Over
Wed 2006-04-12 22:49:34 (in context)
- 2,764 words (if poetry, lines) long
This is just to say that the short story "Turbulence" has now gathered its fifth rejection letter. It will not see print in Asimov's. *Sigh*
This is also to say that the short story in question was only allowed to visit long enough for a cup of tea and a little chat. Then it was propelled firmly out the door again. Consider it re-slushed.
And that is all.
