Yet Another Honorable Mention

It's my second from Writers of the Future, but who's counting?



"Bounty Call" (based on this 512) has been submitted to another market.

Incidentally, the story for which I received my first WOTF Honorable Mention--in September, 2011--has just been accepted for publication. See details on my LiveJournal, if we're LJ friendz.

The Thrill of Defeat

Two, count 'em, two rejections received today! That makes sixty-four total since the end of 2008. (I'm counting.) Which is, really, not a lot. I should be writing a lot more, and I should be submitting a lot more. In the words of Middle-Aged Man, "I'm working on it!"

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't discouraging sometimes. But I knew this was going to take a while. I'm still improving as a writer, and I'm still figuring out the whole business side of the writing life. I'm hoping it won't take me ten years, but I expect it'll be at least a few more before I start selling to pro markets.

In the meantime, I won't stop believing.
