Done In

 I got off work early. Which was good for me since when I got back here, my knee hurt bad enough that I crashed in the bed for two hours. I went off to Walmart for some groceries. I got back to do my laundry. I checked the email. Then I submitted stories to more places. I finished off doing a page for "Chasing Ashes" - there are two contests for such things.

End of the day for me.

Donald Sutherland made even a poor film worth watching. You should read Power corrupts: A letter from Donald Sutherland.

My latest, "No Ordinary Word, has been getting the usual rejections:

Thank you for sending us your work. This particular submission wasn't chosen for publication, but we are grateful for your interest in our journal. We wouldn't be able to continue without writers like you.

Great luck with your writing, among all other things.

Sincerely,

The Editors
