Editors are so mean!

Hi everyone,

I was rejected the other day. Nothing new about that, but this editor had told me she loved my funny story. Said she got a big laugh from it. Said she shared it with a colleague. Said she would get back to me.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Dear Editor. What?

Said her colleague loved my funny story too. Said she’s too busy to consider it now. Said to get back to her in a few months. I got turned down on a story that two editors liked.

Sometimes you just want to cry.
