I've always wanted to publish a writing. I want to write and have my work accepted by someone and publish it. I don't know that I write well enough for that, but it is my dream.
So, several months ago I decided to write a short story and send it into a magazine. I really didn't expect it to get accepted, it was after all, it was my first time to send anything in. They said it would be 12 weeks before I would hear anything. Well, 8 weeks passed and today I got my first rejection notice.
Sigh, it's sad. I didn't expect it to happen, but it is still kind of hard to receive.

I'm with Martie--keep trying!!
Molly, I just read an interview in a magazine that this new author, who is expected to be a bestseller, had his book rejected 117 times before someone took it. So keep on trying - you're a great storyteller!
