I've officially submitted my first story! It feels like I should bust out the champagne, or maybe shop for a dartboard to affix the inevitable rejections that will start pouring in as a feature of this process.
Once my new laser printer gets here (today, if the UPS gods are smiling on me), I'll be able to send off to the old-school journals who are still insisted on receiving paper manuscripts with self-addressed stamped envelopes.

Awesome! Good luck.
best of luck with it.
I saved every rejection letter I ever rec'd, whether it was from a potential job or college I applied to. In retrospect, saving those (in a nice neat little file entitled "rejection") was a waste of time. I like the dart board approach.
Thanks, all.
There are actually places where you can only submit pieces that have been rejected a specified number of times, so it's possible that keeping in some contexts is useful. ; - )
That's wonderful. I applaud you.
