An old audio interview

Rejections. An editor’s perspective Some editors say that is not worth it to give personal rejections. Of course if you reply to a submission with the words like “your ending needs work,” that would open a rat’s nest of arguments and maybe give the writer false expectations. But that’s how one editor replied to me:…

Don’t freak over a word. Freak over two words in the row. About their choice and interconnection.

Just wrote a story. I was laughing out loud when I was writing it. I still do.

I don’t give up submitting to the same #litmag, even after a dozen rejections. I tried to give up once, but I gave up on giving up.

Nothing lasts longer then a good last line of a novel.
