Schizophrenic

I tried my story, “Drugged” out at Chizine, but it was quickly rejected. The editor gave me good feedback, saying he liked it but thought it was too short. Fair enough. I’ll have to try this one someplace else.

For the first time in my writing career, I have removed one of my own submissions from a market. I submitted a story entitled, “Drugged,” to a market in December and have yet to receive word. I hesitate to mention the name of the market because I don’t want to give it bad publicity. So,

I still wait patiently for my many submissions and contest entries. As May approaches, I am keeping my fingers crossed that within the HWA newsletter,

This is a slight digression from horror and writing. A fellow writer has posted this info on a writing site that I am part of (writers4writers), and I felt it was important to pass the info along.

On the sidebar, where it usually lists the next featured author, it said this instead: Next week: Alas. There is no next week. This is the end of our run. A huge thank you
