In all this craziness of bouncing back from my knee thingy, I forgot to showcase my first, real rejection letter. This one comes from Running Times. I sent them a query about an feature I would like to write for them:
Hi Erica:
It sounds well thought- out, but doesn’t fit in RT, which is more for the competitive runner.

Okay, fine... I need to research the audience a bit better ( I actually thought I did it just fine - alas, I was wrong), but he says my idea sounds well thought out!!
I mean, sure, it is a rejection, but he actually responded to me and was nice about it.
In the same week I got a rejection letter, I got my first writing assignment for South Jersey MOM.
One rejection, one acceptance. Just call me butter 'cuz I am on a roll!

Congrats! And yeah, for a rejection letter that is pretty positive.
Seriously... Running Times is kinda snobbish as far as running mags goes. So, good for you.
Congrats! I've always thought about sending a query to a magazine too, but never had the guts to do it, so good for you!
Have you ever been on Unfocused Life's blog? He's talking about rejection letters too; writing a short story.
