A short story that I've been shopping around for years just got accepted by a paying publication. It was my second most rejected story (13), and was also called "excellent" by one of those rejections (the editor loved it, but felt it wasn't right for their audience--fair enough). But it's times like these I remember my favorite Ray Bradbury writing quote: "You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address." 🧵 1/2 #scifi #writing
