Wrote a Short Story

I've recently made a submission to an anthology called Circuits and Slippers and I'm very excited about it.  Even if they don't accept my submission you should go check it out.  Not exactly sure on what form it'll be published in, but it's supposed to come out this September.

The anthology is going with the theme of traditional myths and fairy tales retold in scifi settings.  I thought it was pretty interesting.  So, I submitted a story based on the epic of Beowulf.  I'm actually pretty happy with the results.

I still have yet to find a home for Hired Gun, sadly.  But I guess that goes without saying.  Still no response from Jukepop, but I figure their editorial staff is probably bogged down with submissions anyway.  It seems like everyone wants to be a writer.

Not sure why, the pay is absolute shit.  I've been working for a little more than two years and I'm still in the hole five bucks.  Mostly, what I keep reading is that the biggest reward one gets from writing is getting to make something.  That's wonderful and all, but a couple wads of pocket cabbage wouldn't hurt, either.
