Then I can start collecting rejection slips. That's a good attitude to take. Can't remember who it was, but I remember somebody saying they wallpapered their writing room with rejection slips. Thinking about it, that would be enough to make one of those motivational gurus top himself, wouldn't it? The exact opposite of 'surrounding yourself with success'

Ooh, Geoff, I wrote a piece on my Ask Sally feature on my blog yesterday about submitting to anthologies, and touched on people not adhering to guidelines.

You've explained everything I wanted to say about why stuff gets turned down.
