\o/ First rejection!

First rejection! I'm now 1/12th of my way to my new year's resolution (twelve rejections in a year -- if I make it, I get a sense of achievement, and if some pesky acceptances get in the way, I think I'll cope), and I feel like I've just undergone an important rite of passage. I got some helpful feedback in the rejection, too, which was really kind. When I can bear to, I shall see if I can apply it to the story.

Short story status:

1 published (In Orbit @ Expanded Horizons)
1 rejected (demons!)
1 under consideration (the tree in the garden of winter)
2 in progress (homesickness, transmutation)

Longer works:

Still around 10 000 words on the post-magical-war murder mystery.
6 000 words on a superhero romance for Samhain Publishing.
