The flash fiction piece I sent out last month received a rejection. The market provides feedback on submissions from the editors and one of them wanted to include it in the next issue. I still have confidence in the piece so I will continue to try and find a home for it. That drabble that’s been out for 278 days… I’m calling it rejected, even if the market has reported a response after 400 days.
Now that I’ve written just over 50,000 words for my latest opus, what do I plan on doing with it? It’s going into a drawer until after the holidays. Then I will begin the editing process for it. I’d like to submit it for a writing grant in September 2009 and it will only get to that point with a lot of revisions.
