I will be aiming high, shooting for pro and semi-pro markets with the firm belief that I will be rejected ( you see I favour a rather stoic approach, what’s the worst they can say? No. Right?) but you never know.
My own opinion on the story swings between: a polished, well written work with some romantic tension and a certain realistic approach to post apocalyptic fiction and well… Frank Pickle.
So I don’t intend to report on the magazine who I submit to but I will note rejections. I have set the limit at ten before I will trunk the work or consider a rewrite. The purpose is to
a) provide some blog content
b) to work through the rejection process
c) to have a written record to refer back to in my memoirs to remind myself that the struggle is worth it
d) to provide entertainment/ a sense of solidarity with other readers who may be writers
Cheers
