Well, at 750 words my flash piece “The Junkie” is an itty bitty story so, when the call went out for an anthology called ITTY BITTY WRITING SPACE, who was I to resist? The idea is, as I understand it, that one hundred stories at 1000 or fewer words each will be accepted for the book, “any genre welcome, just keep it awesome.” Pay — and perhaps even just publication — will depend on Kickstarter success in the[image error] near future, so watch these pages for an announcement and link when I know it.
But I get ahead of myself. The point is that in less than a day’s time, at 9:37 last night according to the time stamp, the email came: I am thrilled to accept “The Junkie” for the book. You are now officially confirmed. This was followed by information on a mailing list for further details plus a request for my confirmation that I was still interested, which I returned.
So, again, check back here for future info and, when the Kickstarter is announced, be aware that generosity will be appreciated by ninety-nine authors as well as me. And then, when the time comes, enjoy an all-new story (hint: it does have a zombie in it) by me.
