Well, what do I find on a still-dark Tuesday morning but a tweet with a link to a story I wrote! It was a gloriously surreal moment.
For the low, low price of absolutely free, you can read the very first short story I ever wrote, "Corruption Harmonic," at
Fiction Vortex. This is a testament to the twin powers of revision and persistence, since I've revised and submitted this story more than anything else I've written, as my writers group and about a dozen zines could attest.* And it found a lovely home!
Either this trend of acceptances, by which I mean two in the recent past, means that I need to continue submitting and ride this streak, or it means that I need to rack up a dozen rejections to de-swell my head. Either way, I know what I should be doing! Hint: it's not creating an Amazon author page, although I did just do that too.
*Is it considered repeating a word to use 'testament' and 'attest' in the same sentence?
