First rejection of the new year

And it's from Palooka magazine, bringing me up to A B C G I M N O P Q R S T U W

This one did include a note encouraging me to submit again, which I think is the first time I've gotten one of those. It's almost as exciting as an acceptance.

A Great Big Fiction Bomb Exploding in Your Face

That's the working title for my new painting, which I'm submitting to a cover art contest. If I don't win, I'm also totally counting it towards my rejection tally, since it's literature related.

*** Update: I won! I'm not sure if anyone else actually entered, but I'm still totally going to gloat.
