Frustration

[lagilman]

There's a short story I wrote a while back that I really like a lot. It's short and kinda nasty and kinda thoughtful and four times now editors have said "wow, I really like this, but..."

And then come back to me with four completely different "buts."

I suppose it's a good thing that I'm pushing buttons with this, it means the story's working on at least one level (and maybe even four!). But it's quite frustrating, too.

Oh... ARGH. I feel your pain. In fact, rather than blather on in the comments, I just sent you an email. And I'm making room on the bench.

I think we need cushions on this bench. And drinks service (e-mail back atcha)

The Polyphony 7 submission period starts tomorrow...and we like buttons pushed. :)

Hrmm. I had been thinking of something else for you, but maybe....
