Compelling. Now I feel the need to do research to find out what happened on July 1st.

Just looked it up. Horrific.

Powerful and vivid.

A really fine story.

Thank you, IMWAN, for these monthly challenges. Boston Literary Magazine just accepted this story. I'd not have written it were it not for this challenge, so I owe y'all a thanks for inspiring me to do it in the first place.

THANKS.

Have you had many stories published?

Not fiction, no. Most of my published work has been NF. A number of years back I had a serial published in a local paper, a short story published in 12 parts, and had another piece in a quirky little indie mag right around the same time. Beyond that, I've really been kind of lax about sending stuff out, so my pile of rejection letters isn't NEARLY as high as it should be. (As I mention in this blog post, rejection letters are not a bad thing.)

I'll send one out, tell myself to send out more just to keep things flying out the door, then a year or two will slip by before I get around to actually doing it. Right now, actually, I'm more on top of it than I've ever been. I think I have eight stories out there at the moment, with a couple more waiting in the wings. Way behind on my agent search for a YA novel I wrote a year or two ago, though ... so I'm still being too freakin' lazy, because that manuscript has been done for a while now.

Yes! I do the same. The not getting round to it part. Actually that reminds me, I've got one to go in the post this week.
