Today’s submission was to Grey Matter Press’s flash fiction contest. More about that in a bit.
Yesterday brought a new rejection, but not one from the blitz. It was a story I sent out in the summer – one my sister had inspired while I was on vacation. The editors said it had piqued their interest, but in the end, they had decided it was a no. They did however say they hoped I would send in another story before the call closed. Well it just so happened the short story I had recently finished and not yet submitted anywhere matched well with their theme, so without skipping a beat, I sent that one in. I have high hopes and may end up disappointed, but it was worth a shot.
On my hunt for my next submission, I came across Grey Matter Press’s “I Can Taste the Blood” flash fiction contest and decided I’d give it a go. Today was the last day to submit, so I just managed to squeak in there. You can check out all of the flash stories submitted (including mine) at the link above and vote for your favourite. If you give it a read, I hope you find my story quite chilling.
Two-thirds of the way to blitz end. This has been a fun one.
And I’m off to hunt out my next call.
