I have all but one (decent) story out on submission right now, and it's driving me up a wall. Part of me wants to scream "Reject me already!!!!"
I know if it takes a while, that seems to be a good sign, like they're giving it a second look or something, but it is *Not* good for my anxiety 😅
@ljwrites yeah please. I submitted to a pro magazine that said they didn't auto-reject retellings, but I'm not optimistic.
