I submitted a short story to the Dark Helix Press' anthology 'Once Upon Our Time' calling for fairy tale retellings. Fingers crossed!
Has anyone worked with them before?

It's been a few years since I was in the market for an agent. #Querying has probably gotten way better in the meantime, right?

17th & final story of my first (and last) short story collection. Enjoying the challenge. There's one common character (sometimes just a mention) called Michael.
For 2 years I've been typing Michale.
Even at this late stage, I'm tempted to rename him Bob.

Okay - two rejections in one day, but I sent both stories right back out. Adding to my rejection tally...I was doing so well, I got moved to a more competitive group! So, these two will help. Currently at 32 rejections for 2025, but 2 acceptances! :)

On track with rejections so far...third one in the third week of the year. It was a nice one, though, with a personal note and an invitation to submit again. Being able to count this for the rejection competition makes it even better. #amwriting #amsubmitting

Been revising a piece of flash fiction that I thought was almost done, so I could submit it and finish my submission goal for the year...but there were more changes than I expected. Going to let this sit for awhile and make sure it's really done. I still have over 24 hours! #amwriting #amsubmitting
