Submitted
Sent off "Hunting the Huntress" at 8:40. Had five minutes of fantasy, involving an editor on the other end immediately opening my email, diving into the story, and firing me back a gushing "I love your story" email by the end of the day.
This was quickly killed when I got the auto responder email. "Our initial response time is one to two months. For submissions that pass
initial review and are placed in queue for an acquiring editor, response time is
two to twelve months. We do want to give every submission fair and unrushed
consideration."
Welcome to the real world ...

Yay!!! If they know gold when they see it, they'll accept it right away.
And of course, the best way to forget about it is to write something else....so whatchya got up your sleeve now?
Good luck, Karen! Hope you get that gushing email (or call) sooner than you think!
Congrats and best of luck on submission. :)
