you can't win 'em all

       

                  the editors                    

                 

                  you know

                  their in-boxes are piled high

                  with work from hopefuls

                  and when they respond

                  it’s usually in the negative

                                  

                  but should a miracle happen

                  don't cheer too soon

                  over that acceptance letter

                  there is no cheque

                  just a complimentary issue.

Ah but when they've printed it, your a Published Author. 
 
I've Vanity Published an Anthology, been included in a Writers' Group's Anthology and have had articles published in of all things the "Brewing Press".(A life time ago for the latter.) 
 
But when it's in a "proper" journal, well. You know you're on your way. (Even though you had to run out and buy extra copies to give to friends and family!) 
 
I've never dared send anything to such august authority. 
 
Brian.

What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. 
 
There is no such thing as a bad review. 
 
The show must go on. 
 
I could go on and on and on. 
 
Point taken though.
