Over the Rainbow

'Rainbows', an ultra short Flash originally submitted to a writers group challenge at WW, has not been taken for the latest Tell Tales anthology. I've sent it straight back out, this time to Boston Literary Magazine where I've had a few things published.

I've just read an article by Vanessa Gebbie (author of 'Words from a Glass Bubble', a short story anthology, and also this year's judge of the Fish One Page prize) which offers some useful advice I'll have to start taking: http://www.theshortstory.org.uk/features/index.php4?features_id=28
Meanwhile, I'm going to try and push the word count of my novel up before it grows too stale.

Waiting for Good News

'Worm', a Flash about what happens when some church bells come crashing down, has been rejected by Ficticious Force. I'll need to think where to send it next.

Entered a piece for the monthly Fish Micro comp. Result due end of June.

Green

'Green' a comic flash on alien culture written for my WW group, sent today to Bewildering Stories.

'Topsider', originally destined for Writers of the Future (but languishing in an unposted enevelope) has now been entered in the Robert Heinlein competition.

Canada

Sent 'The Wassail' to Canadian SF magazine Neo-Opsis today. Hope they're more appreciative than the Bristol judges.

EDF & Static Movement

EverydayFiction published 'Alone' today. Even though I wrote this eerie story I'm not sure whether it's a ghost story or a tale of extreme loneliness.

Static Movement is bringing out a print edition and have confirmed there's space for 'His Majesty Requests'.
