I guess there is a saying out there about rejection letters. It goes along that the only person who doesn't get any rejection letters is the one who never submits any material to anywhere.
Well, I did submit two of my poems for a contest.
The contest is held by an off and online magazine that publishes a collection of writings two or three times a year. Each issue is preceeded by a contest, where the editors announce words to create an atmosphere, a call to the writings.
The winners get a small~ish,but fair amount of money and publication in the paper. This is how I got published my short story in the spring of 2014. The words were 'Voices in the dark'.
.
Now my poems were not good enough, but hey, I gave it a try.
.
This time the words the magazine used translate to 'Someone might enter' (the room).
.
I guess this is just the way. More contest, more writing... and sometimes, success :)

I've definitely had more rejections than acceptances so far this year.
Wow Charles. With all that publishing background you have.
Your words are to remind me to be patient.
