Celebrating My First Acceptance of 2013

Given that I had 7 short stories accepted in 2011 and 9 accepted in 2012, I was starting to feel a little pressure in 2013. As we rolled into February with no acceptances yet, that pressure was increasing.

However, I am ecstatic to now be celebrating that Thrice Fiction just accepted my story “Cents of Wonder Rhymes With Orange” for issue no. 7.

There is always something particularly magical about the first acceptance of the year, and this year I have Thrice Fiction to thank for it. I’m thrilled that they liked my story and can’t wait for people to read it. Issue no. 7 should be published on March 15. It will be available for purchase in print, or free in PDF copy from their website. You should take a look.

Now, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with the pace of 2011 or 2012, 7 acceptances in a single year is a lot to ask (much less 9), but this is a great start. I’m just gushing, and I’m thrilled to have my writing be appearing in Thrice Fiction.

I actually had several ideas for posts today, but this crowded all those right out. To be honest, I’m not managing to think about a whole lot else right now. This takes priority.
