Wanna play? Share a tidbit from a rejection letter in the comments section. You can go incognito if you want or make up a name. (Your street name is your first name and your favorite pet is your last.)  

I'll go first. This is an actual sentence from a rejection letter I received 12 months after submission: I'm embarrassed to say this manuscript was never read and I don't intend to read it now because I am leaving this position.  All the best to you.

Really?

Let it be known I am not condoning violence. A giggle or two is acceptable, however.

You'd be proud of me.  I didn't stomp on my husband's toes when he read my most recent rejection letter and said, "Your rejections are getting better and better." 

It is nice when an editor, especially one at the top of her game, takes the time to point out the positives in a manuscript. And the negatives.  (Darn those negatives. Darn.)

Thank you, Ms. Top of Her Game Editor.  You made my day.
