In the same hour I got an acceptance for a whole bunch of sections of one of my weird long poems from Strange Machine and a rejection for that same poem from Booth.
The good news is I don't need to go through the trouble of withdrawing those sections from Booth.
I am content.
Lit dun't want me again.
The good news is that my SASE got rerouted to my new apartment. Hopefully this means that the other paper submissions I made will be appropriately rejected as well. Pheee-ew.
I've got a new piece-y poem in La Petite Zine. There's also new work from Denise Duhamel, Matthew Rohrer, and Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz among many many others.
I like the way LPZ dresses itself.
Smokelong, again.
Gosh darn. Quick Fiction didn't want the two stories I sent them. I'd actually sent three, but I'd had to withdraw one, which always makes you wonder if that could have been the one. I guess the stories were under strong consideration, but there was no consensus, which you know, never hurts my feelings. Some of my favorite things in the world tend to be hated by most. Which, you know, is giving myself a shit ton of credit I don't deserve, but this is how we muddle through, right? By having massive egos? Anyone?
Listen, people, I'm a third of the way to 666. That's all I'm sayin...
I'm real excited about the new issue of FRiGG that just went up. It's a longer story for me and little based in truth. You'll see. Also work from Rachel McKibbens, Alex Niedenthal, Mar Vincenz and other people I like.
...or be square.
I had to withdraw 2 of the 4 poems I sent Whiskey Island. I've talked to people who think that withdrawing whole submissions makes editors want you more. To these people, I say, "Perhaps you've never been on the editing end. There are too many submissions to organize your biases in this way."
I do wonder just a little if seeing that two editors had obviously rejected the two poems that were left for Whiskey Island to consider, maybe made the poems slightly less desirable to that magazine.
Also, their rejection letter is super short: "Though your work was not selected for publication, we thank you for submitting."
Hot damn! Smokelong still doesn't want me!
Mmhmm! Have you seen the new issue of Trnsfr? Erm. It's really great looking and reading.
It has a fancy flap cover.
It is beautifully laid out.
It has work from people I like, well, a whole bunch: Nate Pritts, AD Jameson, Heather Momyer, Shya Scanlon, Kathleen Rooney and Eliza Gabbert. And me. I like me.
Also, you can get it here.
I'm really excited and honored that my story, "The Grifted," is in the current issue of The Collagist. It's the story I like a lot, but no one else did for a long time. Matt Bell took it though, bless his soul. There's also fantastic fiction from Darby Larson, Trent England, Norman Locke and Kira Henehan. There's extra poetry in there because of this national month of ours: Tamiko Beyer, Denise Duhamel, Matt Hart, Nate Pritts, Alan Shapiro, Sarah Sweeney and D. Dale Young.
AND non-fiction from Renée E. D’Aoust.
So, you know: beat that...
