Art by Jared Sylvia I think transparency is cool and refreshing. This week I received a rejection for my book Project Bullet Baby. I pumped that out like a madman months ago. Of course I was saddened by the news, but not entirely disappointed. I know competition was tight and rejection is part of the game we play. 179 people submitted and I made the top 30 so that’s something. Plus, the novella was rushed to meet the deadline, and needs to be expanded. A few scenes have been brewing in my head so I know the final product will end up becoming a lot better.
