Rejection With A Twist
NaBloPoMo, Scrine Comments (4)
My submission for the fiction section of ‘Passive Aggressive Quarterly’ was returned with a note that read, “The writing was exceptional, all things considered, however, we hope you agree that as a literary magazine, mediocrity is a killer, not that your submission was mediocre, gosh no; hardly.”
Can’t write. Fighting off … pie coma. Got to … concentrate … stay conscious. There’s still … so … much … pie.
Sir @ November 28, 2008
Ooh, what kind of pie?
Jennie: Apple, of course. The pie of the gods.
I agree. This conversation happened on Thanksgiving:
Me: What kind of pie did you get?
Mom: Pumpkin and pecan.
Me: No apple?
Mom: No.
Me: SIGH.
Mom: Are you going to be OK?
Me: I don’t know yet.
The fact that my son doesn’t like apple pie (including my homemade apple pie) is decisive proof that he is, in fact, the Antichrist.
