"Aftermath of War's" Long Journey Continues

My story “Aftermath of War” has been through some things. This story was written off the writing trigger, “Time Magazine,” at The NoteBored. It was the second challenge I did at NB (NoteBored). And the forth story I wrote after joining NB and Liberty Hall (LH). Ten stories later, I did a re-write of “Aftermath of War” and placed it in the NB’s Polished Stories Challenge for more feedback. Fifteen stories later, I polished it up again and subbed it out to magazines.

“Aftermath of War” publication stops:
Happy—11 day rejection
Haruah—12 day rejection
Bewildering Stories—1 day re-write
Gambara—126 day rejection
The King’s English—25 day rejection
Plunge—111 day rejection

I took my story and polished it up for Bewildering Stories. With my polish, “Aftermath of War” was re-titled, “Home and Home Again.”

“Home and Home Again” publication stops:
Bewildering Stories—2 day rejection
The Pedestal—28 day rejection
Literary Mama—64 day rejection
Four Volts—8 day rejection

After that rejection, I submitted my story out to three new magazines on the 9th: Xelas, Front Porch Journal, and Euphony.

The next day I sent it out to two more magazines: Eclectrica and Dicey Brown.

It will be another 2-3 months before I receive the rejections from these places. I’ll keep you updated.

If I may disturb you from your writing desk for a moment, I must tell you how thrilled I am to have found my way here to your most wonderful blog. Almost a month ago I too submitted a story to Pedestal Magazine and am awaiting a response. It is my very first work of fiction to be sent off into the public and I'm slightly nervous about my "child's" (ha!) reception, but your honest posts regarding your own journey of publication have spurred me on and encouraged me.
I'm absolutely delighted to "meet" you and pray that the Lord will bless the beautiful "voice" He's given you to glorify Him with.
Here's to a fellow writer!
Love,
Jo
