Haha, I received two rejections within ten minutes of each other on the last day of August, way to end the month :P But I don't let that discourage me, because there are always other markets. I've already sent two of the rejected stories, and another one which I got tired of looking at.
And congrats to all the fine folks over at W1S1 for meeting their goals!!
As a bonus, I'd like to share some of my favorite short stories I've read in the month of August.
AN ELIZABETHAN TALE by Paul A. Freeman - very funny Shakespearean story over at EDF.
NIGHT VISION by Stewart Sternberg - creepy tale surrounding a mysterious black woman who helps others - for a price.
DEATH, REBIRTH. AN HEIR, A KARAKURI by J.M. Sidorova - if Blade Runner had been set in Japan and given a supernatural twist.
THE WORLD IS CRUEL, MY DAUGHTER by Cory Skerry - a twisted take on a classic fairytale from the witch's PoV.
And if you haven't already, definitely check out the Venture Bros. special From the Ladle to the Grave: The story of Shallow Gravy, which aired on August 28.
Congrats on reaching your August Write1Sub1 goals! And you're absolutely right: there are PLENTY of other markets out there.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Write1Sub1 success! Here's to more.
ReplyDeleteMuch better to have received it on the last day of August, I think, so you can document it and move on. Otherwise, if you'd have received it on the first of September, you'd be looking at it longer. :) And who wants to do that?
