Brilliant piece. I loved your rebuff.
Don’t fret. It’s a club not a publication and they only like stories with a specific formula.
Big catchy heading.
Hook sub heading
And big quirky first line.
And it’s content is usually not funny. Alex is a great writer … but the general content is … “cute” … as girls say to guys they don’t like.
But that’s horses for courses for ya.
They’d reject Monty python for taking too long to get to the punchline.
Regards of the most high kindness
