First Short Story Submission
Well, last night I sent off my first short story submission to Intergalactic Medicine Show. It is a bit frightening.
I originally created the story at Liberty Hall Writers as part of a flash fiction contest. I liked the story but haven’t done much with it for a couple years.
Then, I needed something for my Writing Group (The Point Writing Group, to be specific) and pulled it out, dusted it off, and totally revamped it. My writing group gave it a pretty good reception, with some much needed advice on how to improve the “surprise” for the end, and I rewrote it again. That was a couple months ago.
Then, yesterday, I pulled it out again and added in more world building-type detail to bring it even more to life.
I felt like I’d done all I could for this story and so I sent it out into the big bad world.
It will probably be rejected (it is my first submission after all), but the experience has been good for me.
