Where I collect rejections from publishers and the stories they rejected

In order to succeed, I must be prepared to fail as often as necessary to achieve success. Here, I aim to publish 100 rejections from publishers in the order I receive them together with the stories that were rejected.

To be good at one's vocation, one must simply avoid being bad.
To be great, one must purposely aim for awful.

Get up once more than you fall.
Put your ideas into action.

This is near to a way.

Thanks very much for querying!

Dear Author,

Thank you for your submission.  Unfortunately, we can't consider stories that have previously been published elsewhere.

Your submission has appeared online, at
(http://b8a.blogspot.com/2007/09/ratiocinator.html).  Like most sf magazine editors these days, we consider any appearance on a publicly accessible web page to count as prior publication.

I'm sorry to say that your submission will therefore be deleted unread.
