I just sent off an e-submission to Arabella Magazine--twice. *blush* While halfway through composing the cover letter in Outlook, I fell victim to the pitfalls of my obsessive-compulsive saving habit while writing anything. As often happens to me, I missed the "save" button. Unfortunately, in Outlook, the button next to "save"...is "send"... So, needless to say, the submission was sent half written, and sans attachment. Oops. Big oops.
And how's this for response time? Ten minutes after sending the first, wrong email...and while still working on perfecting my correct one...I got a response. "Thanks. Please feel free to send the story. (It wasn't attached)."
Soo...I am now feeling like the world's biggest idiot. :-X But anyway. Submission is sent, keep your fingers crossed. 10 cents/word for a 1200 word short story is $120! Boy, could I use that!
