So I didn’t make it into the workshop. I’ve had my submission story critiqued at OWW, and I now see what the story is lacking. I also reviewed the letter I wrote them, and between those two items? I sound like a robot. So what did I do?
I applied fiction writing concepts of voice and character and wrote a new letter for VP15. Yes, that’s right. The submission period opens in January, but I’ll probably wait until around May to send it in so I have time to workshop and revise a decent story before the deadline.
I should probably sign the damn thing “Ms. Glutton F. Punishment”.
DAWN BONANNO 
persistence….
Exactly.
