Dipping my toe back in the water
Aug. 23rd, 2020 10:48 pmToday, for the first time in over twenty years, I sent out a short story for an editor’s consideration. It’s almost humorous how proud of myself I feel.
The story is called “The Hall of the Muses.” I wrote it in the hopes that Greg Ketter would take it for his anthology on bookstores (eventually published as Shelf Life), but Greg decided to pass on the story. I always thought it deserved a home, though, so I had a few writing friends take a look at it to suggest markets. And today, I sent it off. Given recent events in Minneapolis, it feels oddly topical.
Good heavens, I feel old. The last time I sent out a short story, I had to send it on the mail and include an SASE.
I will be reading the story aloud at a meeting of the Rivendell discussion group this Saturday (via Zoom). It’s one of the “Readings From Rivendell” series, so there will be other readers. Check out the invite on Facebook here to learn more. (Edited to add: I dunno why that Facebook hyperlink isn't working, but here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/736244700529880/).
