Rejected!

So I was rejected by Canteen, the magazine. No big deal. I sent in this story called "While You Were Watching." It's fine they rejected. I've been rejected by so many magazines and literary sites you would not believe. I understand how the whole process works, thanks to Lo-Fidelity.

But the thing is... the feedback I got was a bit odd. I mean, even Andrew's feedback from his story (he sent one in too) was as if the editor didn't quite understand the story. I mean, he said Andrew's story had a hallmark ending, which is kinda harsh, but Andrew can take it. He's a man. As well as I. I can take feedback. Even if it is on the rough side. But does that mean that our stories aren't written well? Or does it mean that he just didn't read it as thoroughly as possible? I don't know. I know how tough running a zine can be.

In no way am I dissing Canteen. It is a wonderful magazine and truly has amazing authors. I'm just questioning myself again as to how good a writer I actually am. Should I keep with it? Or quit with all the others. To quote Lil' Wayne, " Stop throwing pebbles at a bulletproof glass." Maybe that applies, maybe it doesn't. Whatever. I like the line. When Wayne is on he is fucking on.

EDIT: Rejection is the only way to get better. So thank you Canteen for rejecting me.

Did you hear the new RZA song? It's pretty bumpin'. So is the Lollipop remix. Again... here I go writing shit no one cares about. Man, maybe Andrew and Scuilli are right. We are all just writing for ourselves. Fuck it. I'm on fire.
