but rejection sucks.
I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up (remember how short stories aren't my natural form?) but I guess I did. I think the fact that this particular story did well in a recent Writer's Digest competition spoiled me.
It's a strange story because it doesn't have a normal structure or characters, and I have thought of ways to make it more "normal," but I think the coolest thing about it is the fact that it's different and so far I've refused to change it.
So are my author's instincts correct and it should stay the way I have it, even though it might never get published? Or should I work on revising it to fit people's expectations before sending it out again?
