For years I have befriend this machine before me, using it to link letters together to form words into stories and poems. For years I have hated this machine as I searched and searched and searched for a market that might accept my stories. And for years I have cried before this machine as I received rejection after rejection after rejection.
But I never gave up.
And so finally, after all those years, I am proud to announce that two of my stories are forthcoming in the short-story market!
Careful What You Wish For is slated for a spring release from Title Goes Here: in there e-zine. It's a story about a weed which wishes to be a flower. Befriending a worm, which blossoms into a butterfly, this little plant never loses hope of one day being as beautiful as a flower. But even beauty has its ugliness.
Outside the Box is also slated for a spring release from Bard's and Sages Quarterly in their spring issue. It's a story about a crayon . . . the terrible life of a crayon. What exactly is outside the box?
Congratulations, man! That's great!
