"It was a good read."
Now... for those who care, I am just climbing back into my chair from having leapt out of it moments ago at what I just read. Seriously. Flew right out! Banged my knee and jammed my elbow on the desk. Why? Here’s why... I just received a personal email from the editors at GTS. Not one of those carbon-print responses, mind you, a real email. Check it out...

Dear Scott,
Although we won't be publishing this particular piece, we do thank you for sending "Backroads". It was a good read.
Glimmer Train Press

It was a good read?? Yes! Victory! Haha! I rock!
This place receives some 40,000 to 50,000 submissions annually. (Fifty-thousand!) And they send me an email saying, “It was a good read.” Not only addressing me by name, but including the actual title of my story in their response.
Validation without publication!
I almost don’t care it wasn’t published! Okay, I really do care, but this is amazing! Fifty-thousand, and I get a personal response.
Forget what I said yesterday...
Oh, and did I mention they said it was a good read?
