I submitted a piece to the LA Times (I wanted to fail BIG!) late last week - and I got my first rejection e-mail today. Woo Hooooo!!!
As I hadn't expected to hear anything, except maybe their collective laughter of disbelief echoing all the way to the beach from downtown, this is going in my plus column.
Of course, the speed at which they replied could be taken a couple of ways. However, I'll choose door number 2 - and say, hey, at least they didn't leave me hangin'!
Be afraid, be very afraid... I'll keep pluggin' away like the hapless hack I am!

Hah, they're gonna be REALLY sorry one day that they rejected it. They should have got you while they had the chance xxx
Congrats on the reply, what was the topic of the articile that you submitted?
Good Luck next time.
Ah, if only critics could all be family and friends :)
That's too, TOO nice and charitable of you, Andrea and I am very flattered and touched :)
And Stephen, it was about Mudders' Day. :)
C'est la vie... thanks for leaving comments, you pair!
That piece about mother's day was really good, their loss is all I can say!! Keep it up though, it will happen ;-)
Ah, grassy ass, Shan.
