Wow, just . . . wow
Today I received a form rejection from Westview for a submission sent November 17. That would be November 17, 2005. Here are some appropriate responses:
- I'd submit more work, but I'd like to hear back before I'm dead.
- In Oklahoma, do you send your rejections by Pony Express?
- I guess it took some really close consideration of how you should stick that little printed slip into the envelope.
- Forget behind the desk, that baby must have fallen into a space-time wormhole or an alternate universe.
- I sent what to who now?
- 817 days? Even the US Postal Service is embarrassed for you.
- Please mail this to two years ago, when I gave a damn.

Wow, this beats a lit journal that once sent me a rejection note after 455 days! (However, I do have three poems out to one journal that are coming close to this record...)
Unbelievable. They took only 7 months to accept one of mine...I wish I could complain about that, but honestly, I think that might actually be better than the average.
I think my longest was Green Hills, which was out 500 days before I got a rejection note. O. Well.
