Yikes!!!!

Just got this rejection from Shock Totem:

"Dear Erik,

We have withdrawn this submission—and one other—for not following our guidelines. Please read our guidelines carefully. We do not allow multiple submissions.

Sincerely,
The Shock Totem Team "


One submission was withdrawn for "No reason given".


My fault for not reading the guidelines.


However, another magazine (I can't recall which) simply let me know right away, asked me to withdraw the submissions myself, then submit the one I thought was most outstanding.


Kinda wish Shock Totem had done the same.


Ah well.


I'll submit later.


I'd do it right away, but I have a feeling I'm on their shit list for not following protocol.


I'll give it a few months & they'll forget all about me.


Gotta love the publishing world... like showbiz, it's all just a game.
