(no subject)

I have a story that's now bounced back from Clarkesworld, Liminal, Uncanny, and F&SF -- which ordinarily wouldn't discourage me much, even though I think it's a really good story, you just sometimes have to send them out a lot of times -- except that F&SF has given me constructive criticism. Which I partially agree with, but I've been trying to make the story less rushed since I wrote it, and I can't figure out how to do it. Maybe I'll put it aside for a bit; maybe I'll send it to one of those magazines that has longish response times so I don't have to think about it.

But it's also the stronger part (I thought) of the writing sample I sent in for my MFA applications, so there is a LOT of second-guessing myself here.
