Crazy For Trying

And so, the editors of Crazyhorse have declined. There wasn't enough rejection out there in the literary world, and I had to go find even more through submissions to literary magazines.

Ah, but all is not lost. Once again, I am invited to submit something else. It's almost like an agent requesting a partial. The query was intriguing, but once the actual novel arrived, well, not quite right for the old list.

Try again. The short piece is out on submission at three other journals, and there's four other shorts awaiting an answer. As for Crazyhorse's invitation to subscribe, alas, I must pass. The money spent on the subscription could go a long way in the submission process, at $1.59/each. Best of luck in finding some deeper pockets than mine, which are painfully empty these days.
