BUGGER

A rejection from Argosy in the mail yesterday, in which they mention their new policy of not accepting unsolicited manuscripts. Sod it. It's a policy that bloody annoys me as a writer, because it simply means a closed market to someone of my stature, and I can ill afford to lose major markets I'm trying to crack.

A professional, committed writer would shrug, redraft the story, and simply send it off to another market. I'm going to do that, but I'm going to stomp my little feet first.
