I do believe NFG (if you read what they are about) is: 1) not an Internet magazine and 2) a collaborative editorial group. So not only were you turned down by Ms Peabody, but also numerous others that had a look at your work. And by your reaction it lead or leads me to believe that this is the first experience you have ad with submitting literary work for acceptance and had the unfortunate response of a rejection. Worse yet, possibly a one line rejection. As far as the other babble, really, I do not have the time for it. I do not recall what or what I have not said to you, but I am sure it was quite rude, unpleasant and only in the context of what we were discussing at the time. Think what you want about my work and my character. It is quite pleasing. But do not bring Z into this, she is quite a dedicated writer and works hard at establishing herself and building a literary magazine. GW is about in the same league as you when it comes to writing, and I cannot vouch for you friend Ms Peabody. But, do not let one rejection letter dismay you into long infantile rants. Just keep plugging away and maybe one day you to will have a bit of the success that others have worked hard to attain. Until then, good luck to you and your family.
