Last night, the October issue of a magazine to whom I'd submitted was released. The editor had told me they wanted to include my story in this issue if I could make it longer and scarier. I took a bit too long re-submitting it, so it wasn't in there. I was still a bit disappointed, even though I didn't really think I'd be in there. So, I turned my thoughts back to the Green Man. "How dare you get my hopes up!" I suppose it's not the Green Man's fault... After all, it's MY fault I waited so long to re-submit the story. Still, the bad news came the same day I attributed good writing news to a "lucky charm," and was let down. Not sure what to think of that. My superstition only goes so far, after all.
Yesterday when I woke up, I learned that a publisher by whom one of my shorts has been accepted is now seeking novel manuscripts until March. I took this as good news. I found a manuscript that I felt would fit and edited it a bit. I'm not quite satisfied yet, but I plan to take my flash drive to school with me today so I can finish with the first three chapters/query. Anyway, I have high hopes since I've already been approved once through them. Being superstitious, I thanked the talisman I bought at Pagan Pride Saturday; the Green Man, representative of new beginnings. That was early yesterday...
