Good news: just had a lovely email from the folks at Hiss Quarterly accepting my short short, Chemistry, for their next issue. Nothing better than a publication telling you they "love" your story. This is a flash piece I wrote years ago, had hanging around at the back of the drawer, never quite knowing what to do with it. Then I saw Hiss' call for subs on the subject of "Birds&Bees" and it felt like a fit.
Made my day.
Makes all those rejections worthwhile.
It'll be up there Feb 1st. Thanks, Hiss.
Many congrats, T
ReplyDeleteBreak open the fizz!

Oh yeah! And then found out I got nowhere in Blue Earth's free flash fiction comp. You win some, you lose some...

Well done, Tania - a great end to the year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessa, Sara and Frances. I feel a little silly getting so excited about every acceptance, but that's what makes it worthwhile eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you all!
PS And will definitely send to Ascent Aspirations, thanks V.
