A letter from the editor

Remember way back, when I sent in a children's story to the NZ School Journal?

Well, I got my reply today.

It was a rejection, BUT - she gave me some suggestions on how I can improve my story, and said she'd be happy to have another look at it when I'm done.

So, not a bad result, really. And the bonus is, after a couple of unmotivated months I'm getting back to writing.

Congratulations! That's the best kind of rejection. :) Now get revising and resubmitting that story.

Violet said...

yes ma'm.

That's wonderful news.
Not about the rejection, which seems only partial but the rest.

Violet said...

nigel: yeah I think so. I spent all evening work on the story and now it's so much better!

Angela said...

Glad you got a responce.
Who knows maybe you will get it published next time

Good one Violet-you are clearly on the right track or they'd just have said thanks but no
