Was reading a friend's blog when I stumbled on a link to a very nice interview with Scott Barnes, editor of NewMyths http://sixquestionsfor.blogspot.com/2010/06/six-questions-for-scott-barnes-editor.html

This part was particularly interesting to me:

quote:
SB: I am surprised at the high quality of most of the submissions I get. That is the number one thing I want people to know: your stories are GOOD. I also want people to know that rejection is simply one man’s opinion. I belong to a discussion group, and people regularly talk about stories being accepted after 15, 20, even 40 rejections. Keep sending them out! And while you’re waiting for that acceptance, take what feedback you can get and apply it to the next story you are writing. This is a business of continuous improvement.

It looks as if the blog has other editor interviews as well. I'll be checking it out more later.
