I sent Lady Luck to Podcastle…a fantasy-based podcast. I sent it today at 4:03pm. I got it back (rejected) at 4:23.
I would’ve preferred an acceptance…but a 20-minute rejection at least allows me to send out…immediately.

I am not going to mince words that sucks!
Yup, you have to WAIT. Now sometimes places will do a simultaneous submission which means you can send out to multiple places at once. But they are rare.
So most times, you send out…wait several months…then wait some more.
So look at my oldest short story: Sorcerer’s Wife…it’s been to seven places (total) in two years. Pathetic.
Wait – when you send for submission you can’t send them out to anyone else? I didn’t know that – no wonder it doubly sucks when pub’s take a long time deciding.
I still think, you and Brian need to team up and do a graphic novel.
