Editors are Good!

Dear Editor,

Thank you so much for everything you have done for me.

First, I loved that you told me that you don’t accept everything. That was the best introduction to Medium I could have had. I come from a planet where five to ten percent of papers are accepted, and then, only after weeks of waiting.

You must have said that to me because you are often confronted with people who flip out if you reject something. I’m so sorry you have to put up with that. Rogues’ Gallery is good because it doesn’t accept everything.

Keep rejecting, you rejecting diva! It only makes you hotter.

Second, thanks for being good at titles. (Of course, my first title made me laugh more, but that doesn’t mean I know anything about clicks and reads. I don’t. Given the clicks and reads I actually got: You were right.)

Third, thank you for reminding me that we type out the numbers from one to one hundred and then start to use digits at 101. I had forgotten.

Fourth, thank you so much for adding single quotes to my ‘Reverse Cowgirl’ story. I’m a specialist in philosophy of language, so, yeah, I know what they are, and how to use them. I just didn’t.
