3/1:

Chruch, cleaning, a walk down to the convenience store, revising “Going for the Kid,” watching “Dark Skies” in the wee hours, and submitting to three outlets. 

“Going for the Kid” - Bourbon Penn, Wyldblood Magazine

“Pieces About A Small Indiana Factory Town, 1976 - 1984”: Twisted River Review

 

3/2:

 Up at 7 AM, to Payless at 8:45, and back here at 9:15.

A rejection to start my day:

Thank you for submitting your work to Straylight. Although we enjoyed reading your submission, "Pieces About A Small Indiana Factory Town, 1976 - 1984," we're afraid we won't be able to use it in our upcoming issue. Feel free to try us again. 

You can find us online at http://straylightmag.com/, or follow us on Instagram @StraylightMag and Facebook as Straylight Literary Arts Magazine.

I found I sent out the wrong “Pieces” file. One step forward and two backwards may now be three backwards. Similar problems sending files to MW in the past month. Either my mind is going or I am just plainly stupid. 

I will go with stupid. 

How I found out was revising the piece, trying to cut down a story whose word count exceeded what I thought it had been. Yeah, it had other stories attached for a particular submission. I did some revising, so I might as well get it out.
