Old Hand

Ok, so now I am an old hand at this. I now have two pieces published, thanks again to The Legendary. It seems to be a good fit. Perhaps because they like something a little sleazy, with a short sharp shock in there somewhere, and tight. I aim for all those things, mostly.

So now I'm getting down to the submissions business proper. I'm treating this more as an exploration. I get the feeling that there is a massive machine. I can hear it clunking and whirring. It involves a lot of people writing and reading each other's work, but it seems as if sometimes it may be distanced from a wider audience. I want to see what I can get here, see where it takes me.

At the moment, though, I'm just getting rejections.

My new story, 'Letting Go' is here:

And will be archived here, along with the first piece they accepted, 'God Bless':
