Send it to someone who can publish it. And if they won't publish it, send it to someone else who can publish it! And keep sending it! Of course, if no one will publish it, at that point you might want to think about doing something other than writing.

For me, being able to go anywhere you want, with an element of precision and control, has been the goal.
