I seem to be getting a ... better class of rejection, these days? I've got this one story making the rounds that's actually passed slush three times and I've gotten personal notes from Senior Editors at two major major publications for it, and it's passed slush at another (brand new) pro market (which I should hear back from in the next ten days or so).
What's weird is that this is one of my earlier Things. So, it's not like my skill level has changed or anything. Possibly having "my work has appeared in Cosmos" is making a difference? Well. Whatever the reason, it gives me hope, anyway. I feel like I'm right on the cusp of Something Big. Of course, I've felt that way for a good long time now, so... yeah. My giant ego is giant. But I'm a writer, so I guess that comes with the territory.
I really need to start working on the Ghost Ship story again. That Writers of the Future deadline is going to sneak up on me and pounce before I know it...
