Hot Damn!
I got an email this afternoon that put a smile on this weary writer’s face:
Dear MissM ,
Great news! Your submission has been accepted for entry on the short-story.net website. Now you can get your work seen by the world! The unique address to your work is:
http://www.short-story.net/story.php?s=1465
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email.
It was sort of a given, since it’s a short story archive that doesn’t seem to have many stipulations but it was a place to start! *claps*
I’m so excited! I’m so scared! What if people don’t like it? *scream*
Miss M is a reader, writer, lover of coffee, devourer of words, catcher of spirits, liver of dreams. This blog is my place to spill my writerly musings and observations. I'm trying not to focus on being published or world famous, but to be content to allow the words, ideas, meaning, hopes and dreams to flow from my fingertips and leave the world forever changed for having done so.

Hi MissM,
Marc here from short-story.net. Glad your story appearing on our site put a smile on your face!
Just thought I’d leave a comment replying to your thoughts on our site. I suppose it is a cross between an online publication and an archive as you say. Submission guidelines are on their way though, and you’d be surprised how many stories we do have to turn down :)
