Good Vibes, Please?

I just submitted an unsolicited proposal for a three part story to a well respected online magazine. I won't go into details here, but it is about a very personal life event that I believe will be of interest to their readers. I am sure they get dozens of amazing story ideas every day, so I am working to keep a positive attitude as I await word on their decision.

The story is important to me; telling it even more so. Opening myself up, including the realistic possibility rejection, is terrifying. I believe my story matters, though.

Supportive thoughts / vibes / energy / prayers, please-and-thank-you?

It's tough to be patient when you're waiting to hear about something you're so heavily invested in.

Best of Luck!

I hope it works out for you, but if it doesn't just keep at it, and eventually it will get published.

Persistence seems to be one of the most difficult and necessary virtues in this endeavor (while remaining optimistic at the same time)!

We've been on DU for about the same amount of time, so I've been reading your posts for years. You are very good at stating how you feel---I hope the editors can see that, too.
