First Short Story Rejection

I'm feeling positive about my first rejection. Number one because while I thought it had been fully edited and ready to go I found a shocking number of problems in it. It wasn't a complete disaster, but as a closeted perfectionist, and knowing my competition is probably fierce, I was not happy. I am able to polish it a little bit more, now will try and get my Alexi O'Shea piece fully ready to go. I've even got my mom on the case and she gave me some good feedback, so I've beefed up the beginning a little bit and have a few more people read it before I send it out.

Fingers crossed...
