Dear editor - response to rejection
Our alien wannabe writer has another letter for the editor...
... or perhaps not perhaps the best way to respond to a rejection letter...

Dear Editor-05
Believe it or not, some writers can get a mite stroppy after a rejection. This is probably one of the reasons why so many agents and editors refrain from commenting on a rejection... Usually, I've tried to point out where I felt the submission didn't work for me - and usually my comments are accepted in the light they're offered; it's all subjective, after all.

Dear Editor-01
Quite a while ago, I wrote and drew a monthly comic strip for the British Science Fiction Society's Matrix (when it was a print magazine!). The basic concept is obvious and it was hijacked from Snoopy sitting on top of his kennel, typing. Mine, however, is an alien who fancies himself as a writer... They might strike a chord.
From time to time I'll feature another sample script.
