Well, I knew when I set out to make writing my career that rejection is part of the game, but it doesn't make it less disappointing. DKA rejected the re-write of The Gates of Bliss today.
I don't often write short stories because they need to strike me or else they aren't worth my time and effort. I spend the vast majority of my creative endeavors on my novels because therein is my passion.
However, it wouldn't be right for me to never submit another short story; it is a bridge I want to cross! Therefore, once I think of a clever one, I'll send it out . . . after all, I am nothing if I give up this easily!

Sorry about that Scott. I still would like to read it. Neil and James seemed to like it plenty.
Yes, unfortunately, rejection is part of the game. But God can still use rejection. If you're familiar with Bryan Davis's story at all, you'll know that Raising Dragons from DIOM received about 200 rejections notices before it was ever published, and there was a reason for those rejections.
Have faith, my friend - it's something I'm learning as well in my own writing.
