PUBLICATION IS A DIALOGUE, NOT A GAMBLE
Old style (unprofessional) close your eyes,
grit your teeth, send, await rejection
New style (professional) sketch idea, consult
friend/teacher, draft, look at outlets, write
to editors, choose outlet (one!), look at notes
for authors, get feed back from editor and
reviewers, rewrite, resubmit.
