Another Rejection (sigh)
Another rejection notice today. This one was personal rather than a form rejection, at least. The editor let me know my story made it into the final batch for consideration, but not into the anthology.
It has been over a year now since I've had a story accepted. (I did get one tentatively accepted, subject to a line edit, last May. That line edit has still not taken place yet.) My writing "career" is very odd, I think; the better my stories get, the more rejections I seem to gather. My first sale ever back in 2003 was at a professional rate, and I haven't sold another at that rate since.
All I can do is keep writing, I guess, and hope things turn around for me eventually.

BTW, was this the story for the "She Nailed a Stake through his Head!" antho?
Thanks, Ahmed and Mike, for the encouraging comments.
