Week 4! I did take it easier this week, writing a flash story. I also worked on some revisions as well for some upcoming deadlines. Plus, I read a novel-length manuscript for a friend and provided some feedback. Have my fingers crossed for her.
Writing:
- The Madness in King’s End, flash fiction, ~967 words
Submitting:
- Cash or Check, to another postcard fiction type site.
Rejections:
- Cash or Check, in what may be the world’s fastest rejection (or at least my fastest) ~ 8 hours
- Long Distance Charges May Apply, 12 days
These were both nice rejections and if I have something appropriate in the future, I’ll definitely submit to both markets again. Besides, I don’t mind fast turnarounds. It beats staring at your submission tracker and thinking, wow, that’s been out for 397 days. Is it too soon to query?
