Understand that this is a business first. Understand that while you may pour your soul into a work others will disregard it; cheapen it; even revile it.
So rejection is a large part of writing. Such is granted and we have covered this subject extensively.
What we haven't discussed is the relatively new phenomenon of ever changing guidelines. This seems to occur when publishers wish to span genres in a magazine or anthology. Understand, they own the platform. They can set the rules. They can publish the stories they want.
And while I agree it is inherently unfair and dishonest to change gears during a reading period, 'life is tough so wear a cup'.
Thank you Dennis Miller.
