Finished two new short stories over the extended weekend... Labor Day indeed!
Spent the evening tidying up the formatting and adding nice little cover letters.
Then I closed my eyes, and hit "submit", as in "submit your story here".
Such a funny word. It hardly describes what it means to send one of your darling creations over the wire to some gifted, but underpaid, underappreciated editor, who will incidentally be more than just a little tired and fussy when he or she opens your original and oh so special little attachment. Editors! I feel for them. I really and sincerely do. It's a wonder anything gets published!
...and substantive proof that every writer is at least 51% optimist!
Oh, and while I was in the mood for formatting and typing up cover letters, I decided to send Shira out for another spin on the digital waves.
