And the weirdest thing is – you never really know who your writing is going to connect with. One year, the editors at such-and-such a journal might hate your work, but the next year, they love it! It’s good when you do find a stable editor who likes your work, and you actually get to meet them at some conference or reading, it makes it all feel “real” instead of like some impersonal casting call.
