I keep writing short stories which are too abstract, and I don't think publishers understand what I'm getting at...

Who fucking cares about your situation, this is a literature board you stupid fuck, we can engage you and your problems if we are interested in your story, but right now you just presented yourself as someone that's either scared to post what they've written or a attention seeking faggot who doesn't want to accept the fact that your work isnt as great as you though.

I'd read it

Did you ever consider that your writing is just completely terrible and the publishers are trying to be courteous.

I never said my work is great, I said it's abstract. I was hoping someone might suggest an avant-garde publication or something; this was not supposed to be a critique thread. I already said if publishing doesn't pan out I'll self publish and post it here for you to shit on, I promise.

I don’t know about how the publishing process works, but maybe you can add a section before or after that explains the deeper meaning of it

Yes

I DONT WANNA WAIT GIMME NOW NOW NOW NOW!

>Well written but we couldn't understand them
Are you one of those faggots that writes 50 pages of obtuse purple prose describing a "deeply personal" experience?

The last one I had rejected was flash fiction, it's 831 words about a fictional ancient city.

Of course I would, there's nothing wrong with hack writing as long as you're making bank. Why should it mean you can't work on more artistic statements too?
