The Sweet Escape

I’ve uploaded my current piece that I am trying to enter into a short story archive. Thoughts would be much appreciated!

Try To Say No

I forgot to mention this is a rewrite of a piece I did last year called Calm Waves and Smooth Moon, so if it sounds familiar, it is. :)

I have submitted this story to two archives. Because if I didn’t do it tonight I would obsessively edit more until it was worse and I really think, after getting some thoughts from a friend, that it’s at its best. *breathes sigh of relief*

One of the archives, I didn’t realize they hadn’t posted a story since fall of ’09. That doesn’t bode well. The other is just one of those internet archives… don’t think I’ll have any trouble being accepted but we shall see. Other sites require first right of publishing or… whatever it is they call it, so I can’t submit until I have something I haven’t submitted elsewhere.

I also am reading some advice on being published and submitting your work… I guess I need to prep a couple of different stories, in case an editor wants to read more. Guess I’d better get moving! I’m kind of thinking of digging into my archive and adding to the one about the girl that doesn’t like light. I want to get away from romance for a minute.

Feels good to have something done, though. Really good.

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.
