Painted Bride Quarterly and Agni Magazine

Two more rejection letters today:

Painted Bride Quarterly - http://pbq.drexel.edu/

And Agni Magazine - http://www.bu.edu/agni/#

They were both longshots, to be sure, but I was starting to get a bit hopeful with PBQ, given the length of time they held onto my submission, almost ten months.

But in spite of the disappointment in today's rejections, I tend to find the good in pretty much every situation.

I choose to consider the possibility that my submission made it through an initial round or two of deliberation and was in the final stage of consideration before being dismissed from the final selections. It's as good an explanation as any. And it's definitely the one that works best for me.   ;)
