Published?
There is a chance that I may actually get my own book published soon! Yes, all you avid readers and fans of mine, I am going to be considered for a short story anthology!
Sofa Ink, a quarterly magazime and imprint of the Ink and Paper group has accepted my second story for publication in their magazine, and one of the editors sent me a note wondering if I were interested in publication. I need to send a bunch of stories his way, and chances are they will say "thanks, but no thanks" because that's the way it works. But, I know they like my stories. And that makes me feel great!
So, possible publication in my future. So nice! So happy! I am so hopeful.
Too bad I am a pessimist.
Oh, by the way, the book would be a collection of short stories that are all positive and have uplifting endings. 90% of my works is negative and depressing. how weird is that. It's like the stories you hear about a horror writer getting a contract for romance novels and all of a sudden that's all he writes . . . . That would be funny if my name became attatched to good feelings and happy endings, eh?
