A Very Writerly Monday

I’m usually not fonder of Mondays than anyone else, but this last Monday was particularly writerly for me.

First I got word that my story “The Las Vegas Strip Disappeared This Morning” was accepted for publication by Smashed Cat Magazine. It should be up on their main page 9/9/14 so keep your eye out for that (note: no actual cats are harmed in the making of their magazine).

That was cool enough. An acceptance always brightens my day. However, I then got word that my story “Somebody Misplaced Montana” was accepted for the upcoming September issue of Used Gravitrons (keep an eye out for that as well). Two acceptances in one day! Extremely cool, and extremely writerly.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had two acceptances in one day before. Add to that the fact that the Gravitron was one of my favorite fair/carnival/amusement park rides ever and it was a very writerly Monday.
