What a flurry of submissions in one day.
Sent a novel excerpt to the Blue Mesa Review and The Artful Dodge after I reworked the opening chapter. Three months wait, at a minimum, but at least there's something out there. Not having much luck with the partials from the other manuscript, my unmarketable masterpiece.
Sent off another short story to the Mississippi Review. The issue is closing on submissions in the middle of June and prints July 1. Let's see, do the math, carry the one, and there's a wait of...three months again.
As long as the printer was warmed up thoroughly, I ran off two copies of the first chapter, and sent queries to Ms. Cartwright-Niumata at Folio Literary and Joy Harris. Got nothing to lose in this subjective game, with a revised query, new title and tweaked manuscript.
It feels so good to have more queries to send that I've got fresh inspiration for the current WIP, the one I was getting stuck on and blocked on and what all. Write on?
