Submittable is the most popular way to submit new work, yet rejections come so fast, it can be disheartening. I tried it this year and have broken through. Read my blog about what to do. #writing #publishing #creativewriting

@AimeeBender Hey, Aimee. I've haven't been on Twitter in years, but I popped on after hearing on the news that Musk changed the name to "X." I got on, and here you are. You know social media better than me. I'll have to explore more here.

[Christopher Meeks @MeeksChris]

I haven't tried Twitter since Musk bought it, but I'm keeping an open mind. For writers who want to be published and have had a hard time with Submittable, here is my latest blog: https://t.co/wLabojiSVS
