Flash Fiction Rejected


I got a rejection today for one of the pieces of flash fiction I wrote a couple of weeks ago. They were right. They did get back to me within three weeks. The response was a standard "Thank you for your submission, but it is not right for our publication." rejection.

That is OK. I am already working on my next piece of fiction and hope to submit it soon. It is due at the end of the month of October. From everything I have read, you should not listen to the rejections as they come in. You should keep sending out new writing as you write it. As your work comes back rejected, you should find a new market to send it to and keep it out there in the world.

My intention for my rejected flash fiction is to read through it again and to see if there are any improvements I can make, then see if I can find somewhere new I can submit it. It is flash fiction, so the places I can send it to are limited, but I am sure I will find an appropriate market to send it to.
