Give Me an "N"

For the New Yorker, which rejected me with lightening speed--I just sent them my piece eleven days ago. I know what you're thinking: I already had an N thanks to Narrative, so why submit to another N magazine? It's because I was also thinking how getting rejected by the New Yorker is an important life experience for a writer, one that I should not miss out on just because they start with a redundant letter. Also, I've been told that they write really sweet form rejection letters, which they do. I especially like how they said they couldn't use my piece "despite its evident merit." That is how the classy magazines do it.

I've since submitted a story to Upstreet magazine, which I had never even heard of before, but there aren't a lot of U's. Now I'm trying to decide what's next. Maybe something that starts with L?
