Monthly Archives: February 2012


 February has been a very up-and-down month.   I have 36 story submissions out.  One is a reprint, two are shortlisted, and one is a requested rewrite.  My wait times range from 0-134 days.  I also asked a market if they’d consider a rewrite of a story they rejected.  They […]

 So, this is a thing that’s happening.   Me:  I want to add more activity to my life.  I know!  I’ll take up hiking.  I like to be outside, and it’s a nice, cheap hobby.  All I need is a pair of boots! Universe: Starts laughing. Me: Look at all […]
