A 1-month-28-day rejection and over 11,000 more words down on the novel. Also, my article, "He Said, She Said...." can be read at Flash Fiction Chronicle, so enjoy! :)
The Unemployment Office also found my claim to be in my favor, so I'll be collecting unemployment benefits until I can find a new dayjob or until January of next year, whichever comes first. Considering how messed up the economy is, I'm not very optimistic.
Also, I decided to take the advice of my last half-dozen employers and apply for SSI. Yes, Mr. "Self-Reliant" finally caved in. Years of chronic pain from osteoarthiritis and a pinched nerve near the spine accompanied by never having enough money for health care can do that to a person. |

13, 690 words down on the novel which is now at roughly 68,000 words and only 4 1/2 chapters left to write. Which means I may have to fatten it up a little once the first draft is finished, possibly requiring a rearrangement of the chapters.
One submission sent and two rejections received. And we're mostly caught up on the F&T slush pile.
Overall, not a bad couple weeks except I got fired from my dayjob on the 18th.
Figures. :( |

I'll have a story in their The Four Horsemen anthology titled the "God-King" and set in ancient Sumeria. ;)

One submission, a 14-day rejection, 20-day rejection, and 1-day rejection. Also, 5400 words down on the novel now that I finally pulled myself out of the quagmire I was in.
Heh. And all it took was to kill off a character two scenes before I had planned to.
the P&E Readers Poll closes on the 14th, so you only have two days left to vote for Chimeraworld #6 (New World Disorder), so go vote already! ;) |
