kenjariAs ashears said in her post, it's not the rejection... The Journal of Musicology rejected my article. And I can handle that. I wasn't really expecting the first one to accept the paper anyway. But they gave me absolutely nothing in the way of constructive criticism or feedback. Quite the opposite, in fact. All I got was two comments, which I thought were kind of harsh. One of them said that my article was "...at best, lengthy program notes". The other comment was somewhat more helpful, but still pretty much trashed the essay and was a bit snarky about it at that. Nothing in the two comments provided any useful direction for possible revisions or improvements. Maybe my professor was just being overly effusive in his praise.
I've had quite enough of the crappy rejections this year. As for the Journal Musicology, I can only hope that someday they will be printing articles about me and my music.
