/lit/ - Literature

one of my poems (30 lines) just got rejected by a literary magazine. Should I edit it before sending it to my Option B or just assume Option A didn't appreciate my still undiscovered genius?

Do you guys keep track of the changes you've made to your work? How closely do you monitor these changes? I usually just copy and rebaptize each version (e.g. Title - Version 5-Nov-2021) and move on. I don't keep track of every little detail I change, life's too short for that, but I understand some people do and I respect your dedication to your work if you're that meticulous, good for you!
