Rewriting
To update my writing efforts with Woman’s World:
I have submitted seven pieces of romantic short fiction. I have received three form letter rejections, one “well-written but not right for us” (or words to that effect), and one “well-written” which also included an invitation to rewrite and resubmit.
Wheeeeeee!!!!!!!!
I did! And what a wonderful exercise it was. The suggestion was made to change the point-of-view and I did. It became a much better story. If nothing else, I’ve learned how looking at the same story from a different and in this case, more personal, angle can change it. I mean, it’s not like I didn’t know that, but it was a good repeat lesson for me.
So, I hope it worked and was good for the magazine also!
