Rejections

Two rejections in the past few days. One was "can't use it." The other was "can't use it. Best of luck placing it elsewhere." Maybe I'm fooling myself, but I get the impression that the first response was really saying, "It's not at all right for our publication." And the second response was saying, "this shows promise, it's not right for us, but keep trying." One has to parse these or one goes mad.

Dear Mike,

Congratulation on completing your novel. I admire anyone finishing a novel that has taken more than several years. It's a huge accomplishment.

I hope to hear a good news on this novel and read your next one when I return.
